Aquarium
SEA LIFE Manly Sanctuary
West Esplanade, Manly NSW 2095
Former circular-tank aquarium that bred grey nurse sharks and once rescued a great white pup.
This guide to SEA LIFE Manly Sanctuary in Sydney starts with Fluffy, an injured baby great white shark found in a nearby rock pool in September 2017 and brought in by keepers from the aquarium behind you. It traces the building's run back to 1963, when it opened as Marineland with a circular four-million-litre tank, and became the first aquarium anywhere to rescue and release a great white shark back into open water. Listen for the story of the grey nurse sharks divers once swam beside here, bred right on site.
