The season of giving is here!  You can help positively impact our world, our environment, and our oceans by contributing to a zoological institution.  Accredited institutions, like Oceans of Fun, play a crucial role in the conservation of endangered species and ensuring that even healthy populations of wild animals remain that way with your help. 

Last year the dynamic population of animals that call Oceans of Fun home consumed over 50,000 pounds of fish (that’s equivalent to about 17 Volkswagen Beetles) ... and some of them are still growing! Which means fish quantities are going to increase.  Your donations help contribute to the dietary needs of our pups, juveniles, and adults while also helping with veterinary expenses as well.  We pride ourselves on providing the best animal care possible for our seals and sea lions and every contribution you make helps us help them.  But it doesn’t stop at Oceans of Fun’s population of animals.

We are facility dedicated to marine mammal science, education, and conservation.  In 2015, over 4,000 sea lion pups were found malnourished and dehydrated on the coast of California in what the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has declared an Unusual Mortality Event (UME).  Your donations help send staff to rescue and rehabilitate pups just like Nalu, a UME pup that was deemed non-releasable and now calls Oceans of Fun home, as well as help cover daily supplies to help get these animals back on their flippers.  They need you.  Even the smallest donation goes a long way and helps make a difference in the life of seals and sea lions.
