PAAZAB
2008 CONFERENCE
7-9 May 2007
The PAAZAB 2008
Conference will be hosted by uShaka Sea World
at the uShaka Marine World theme park in Durban,
South Africa.
uShaka Sea World tells a story of a mysterious
phantom ship that ran aground on the wild KwaZulu
Natal coast - the Kingdom of the Zulu warrior
- and it has become an icon for the uShaka Marine
World theme park. The origins of this phantom
ship have been clouded in mystery. When you wander
down into the hull of the ship, past skeletal
bones of a long-gone whale, you can easily imagine
that you have reached the bottom of the ocean,
watching majestic marine animals silently gliding
past forgotten, sunken cargo.
The uShaka Marine World theme park is surely
one of the most exciting and unique entertainment
destinations in South Africa. Through the activities
of the South African Association for Marine Biological
Research (SAAMBR), uShaka Sea World delivers a
strong conservation message, focusing on biodiversity,
conservation and sustainability. This is achieved
through providing formal educational programmes
to schools, edutainment through dolphin and seal
presentations and increasing knowledge and awareness
of the oceans with information boards and written
material in the aquarium.
The PAAZAB 2008 conference held at uShaka Sea
World will be an environmentally friendly, GREEN
conference. Final dates for the conference will
be published shortly. We look forward to welcoming
you to the Kingdom of the Zulu.
