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.
