Staff at the NMA were excited to see Eileen Wright's footage of a possible Orca in Plymouth Sound. Orcas can be found in the British Isles but not in any great numbers. In theory, they can be found in our waters but one venturing into Plymouth Sound would be quite a surprise!

Have you seen Noodle our New little octopus yet? 🐙 She’s very shy at the moment and usually keeps to the corner of her tank. She can't resist her food though and comes out to say hi during feeding times. Check her out in our Plymouth Sound Zone next time you visit us! 😄

The NMA was opened by Prince Philip in 1998. We are sad to hear of his passing today. He was an Ocean advocate, particularly supportive of initiatives that help young people access the Ocean. We wish his family well during this difficult time for them.

Merry Christmas from the NMA! We may be closed today, but our fantastic Husbandry team are still working to feed the animals their Christmas lunch before heading home for their own. Why not give them a Christmas ‘Like’? We'll be open again on the 27th!
