COVID-19 Crisis Relief Fund Reopening is a HUGE milestone in the return to “normal” at the Aquarium, but as a nonprofit that relies on visitors for 80% of our operating budget, our road to recovery is just getting started.   While the Aquarium was closed to the public, our staff worked tirelessly to maintain our high standards of animal care. In addition to the daily requirements of food, medication, and vitamins, our animals live in complex marine conditions that require meticulous maintenance. Those costs continued to multiply over our 111-day closure, despite the fact that we were unable to make any revenue.   We’re asking our Aquarium family to consider making a donation to our COVID-19 Crisis Relief Fund in honor of our animals. Every little bit helps ensure the Aquarium, and our residents are set up for post-closure success.   We appreciate your generosity and your continued commitment to making a difference for aquatic life.
