From September 17 to September 23, 2023, Shanghai Ocean Aquarium will respond to the call of National Science Popularization Day and will hold a series of science popularization activities with the theme of "Science and Technology Help Protect Marine Biodiversity" to learn more about the significance of marine biodiversity, and the development of science and technology has enriched the methods and ways to protect marine biodiversity. Call on the public to pay attention to marine biodiversity and strengthen the protection of marine life.
During the event, Shanghai Ocean Aquarium will hold a variety of interactive science popularization activities online, offline, inside and outside the museum. For example, in the mangrove exhibition tank, the biological stunt of the water-shooting fish is performed, and the audience can experience the "water-shooting" skill of the water-shooting fish. In addition, there is an underwater scenario school, through communication with divers, to understand diving knowledge and popular science knowledge related to rays. These events not only provide interaction and fun, but also allow the audience to gain a deeper understanding of the ecological mysteries of marine life and promote a focus on protecting the environment.
Every day, the "Didi Classroom" will be held in the Ocean Classroom, where the audience can not only learn the habits and knowledge of various marine creatures, but also get close to the creatures in the touch pool. There will also be a visit to the campus – science and education teachers will bring the classroom into the children's classroom, touching live starfish and specimens up close. More interesting popular science knowledge and videos can also be further learned online through the official WeChat and Douyin.
