Produced by Emerald Films’ sister company: Air Pig Productions

6 WEEKS. ONE MISSION. TURN 8 TEENAGE ROOKIES INTO MARINE EXPERTS

Hailing from Ireland and Australia our international team of Rookies are thrown in the deep end to learn how to care for rescued marine animals. Their hard work culminates in the showcasing of the Rookies’ own conservation messages.

Throughout their journey the Rookies experience the highs and lows of working with marine animals: from assisting with emergency seal, turtle and dolphin rescues and releases to the not so glamorous job of preparing fish buckets and cleaning seal poop at 6am in the morning.

Blue Zoo is packed to the gills with life-changing adventures, life-long friendships and has the Rookies tackling global conservation issues head on.
