ABOUT US

In 1984, Ian Mellsop, Civil Engineer and Managing Director of Marinescape opened the world’s first walk-through aquarium in Auckland, New Zealand. Since then, Marinescape has become well known as being amongst the world leaders in developing commercial aquarium and one of the longest running in the industry. 


Our aim is to present to the public world-class aquariums with displays of representative examples of living marine and aquatic organisms in naturalistic settings, and by way of exhibitions, programs of education, conservation and research to entertain and inform the public, and to encourage a sympathetic awareness and understanding of the marine and freshwater environments and of the human interaction with them.
