As a member of AIZA, Zoomarine contributed to the record with 627,054 visitors.

The institutions belonging to the Iberian Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AIZA) surpassed the historic record of 15 million visitors in 2025. This result indicates growing recognition of zoos and aquariums as spaces for environmental education, biodiversity conservation, and scientific research.

The educational component is a key driver of this success, and Zoomarine's work stands out.

According to a press release from the institution, throughout 2025, 21,511 students participated in school visits to the park and joined educational programmes that promote direct contact with biodiversity, foster understanding of conservation challenges, and encourage more responsible behaviour towards the environment.

In the 2024/2025 school year, the EDUCAR project involved 8,688 students, 625 teachers, and 55 educational establishments to reinforce AIZA's educational mission, even when the park is closed.

For João Neves, Conservation Director at Zoomarine, "the figures now released by AIZA show that the public recognises the value of modern zoological institutions as spaces for education, science and conservation.

This collective recognition reinforces our responsibility to continue to transform each visit into an opportunity for learning and commitment to the protection of biodiversity," he concluded.
