About
A Deep Dive into Local Conservation
Welcome! We’re not your typical large-scale aquarium. Founded by a group of passionate local marine biologists and conservationists, we started with a simple goal: to create an intimate space where our community could connect directly with the incredible marine life right off our shores and understand the importance of protecting it.ย
We saw a need for hands-on education and a dedicated local resource for marine animal rescue, and we built this place from the ground up, fueled by community support and a deep love for the ocean.
Connect Directly with Local Marine Life
Our smaller scale allows for intimate encounters. Get closer to the fascinating creatures of our coast, from intricate tide pool inhabitants to majestic rescued seals, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation than massive crowds allow.
Directly Support Vital Conservation Work
Your admission isn’t just a ticket; it’s fuel for our mission. Every dollar helps fund animal rescue and rehabilitation, local habitat restoration projects (like beach cleanups!), and educational outreach within our community. See the direct impact of your visit.
Engaging, Hands-On Educational Experiences
Move beyond passive viewing. Participate in guided encounters, ask questions during feeding times with our knowledgeable staff, and explore interactive displays designed by our educators to spark curiosity and learning for all ages in a relaxed setting.
Our Vision
We envision a future where our local marine ecosystems thrive, supported by an informed and actively engaged community that understands, values, and passionately protects the rich biodiversity of our coastal waters for generations to come.
Our Mission
To inspire conservation of our local marine environment through intimate educational experiences, dedicated animal rescue and rehabilitation, and by fostering a community deeply connected to the health and responsible stewardship of our shared ocean home.
