The Gdynia Aquarium is part of the National Marine Fisheries Research Institute<\/a>. Our mission is to present aquatic species from around the world, as well as to transfer knowledge about the aquatic environment. The Gdynia Aquarium is a rather unusual zoological garden, in which all animals are bound to the aquatic environment, and in which the entire surface is enclosed in one building. However, despite this uniqueness, the Aquarium fulfills all the functions of a modern zoological garden, undertaking actions for the animals protection, propagating the ideas of environmental protection, conducting broadly understood ecological education and scientific research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), one of the most important factors responsible for the loss of biodiversity on Earth is the excessive exploitation of species by humans. In the early 1970s, a special international agreement was established, called the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, i.e. from the English “Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora” – CITES. The aquarium is a shelter for animals from the CITES list. Some of them come from illegal transports detained in Poland by customs officers. Most CITES species in the Aquarium come from Annex II.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
