Our goal is to conserve aquatic life through display and interpretation, education, research and direct action. Every time you visit, your paid admission and every purchase made at our Gift Shop and Café directly fund our many conservation and research programs and initiatives. But it's not just about the money: every year, more than 900 people donate their time, talents and energy to help us conserve aquatic life.
We Couldn't Do It Without YouAs a self-supporting, non-profit society, we wouldn't be able to operate our many conservation and research programs on our own. Rehabilitating marine mammals, organizing nation-wide shoreline clean ups, managing breeding programs for animals on the verge of extinction and conducting international research studies are just a few of the programs that wouldn't exist without your support.
