In a rapidly-changing world, both environmental and societal, aquariums must evolve to better meet the expectations of their audiences. Their mission – spread awareness on the marine environment, increase understanding of its importance and the need to preserve it – must take into account these upheavals and accompany them.

Thus, the European Union of Aquariums Curators (E.U.A.C) would like to initiate and drive the dissemination of information to encourage participation in the United Nations Decade for Oceanic Sciences for Sustainable Development (2021-2030) with UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) as a coordinator.
