The Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre is an aquarium and marine education centre focused on the amazing ecosystem of the Salish Sea. It houses 17 massive aquarium habitats teeming with live marine life –- giant Pacific octopus to microscopic plankton. Over 250 volunteers, known as 'Oceaneers', guide visitors through the marine habitats, provide in-depth knowledge of exhibits, and assist with school programs for thousands of students each year. The Centre operates as a not-for-profit community facility that is self-supporting through admission fees, grants and donations. It is located on the spectacular waterfront in Sidney, British Columbia.
