We welcome and appreciate any donations from those who wish to support the Aquarium’s flood recovery and ongoing education programs.

Every visit, membership, and contribution helps ensure the Aquarium remains a living classroom for ocean education, conservation, and restorative aquaculture.

We are deeply grateful for the support that helped us reach this reopening milestone and look forward to welcoming our community back to the Pier.
