Welcome to AquaticaKK: Aquarium & Ocean Science Discovery Centre

EDUCATION

The Green Connection Aquarium is a new eco-attraction in Likas (map below) which showcases the amazing biodiversity and habitats of Sabah. It also includes a science and discovery center with interactive hands-on modules which are not only fun but educational.

The Green Connection Aquarium invites Tadika, Primary and Secondary Schools to participate in our newly offered education program.

Celebrate Biodiversity will be our first theme, in recognition of 2010 International Year of Biodiversity. Sabah is one of the few places on Earth still blessed with world-famous mega-biodiversity, which is a treasure for all mankind This vast biological diversity not only makes us feel good but it is part of the basic processes on which human life depends. Healthy ecosystems of plants, animals and microorganisms recycle nutrients, transfer energy, dispose of wastes, and maintain water quality and much more.
