Little Seal Making A Big Splash

The Oregon Coast Aquarium has welcomed a new Pacific harbor seal, and while “Garry” is the youngest and smallest of the Aquarium’s seals, she’s making a big splash.

Washed Ashore Is Here!

On May 17, the Oregon Coast Aquarium unveiled Washed Ashore, a temporary exhibit featuring larger-than-life sculptures inspired by marine creatures and the threats they face. Each sculpture is made entirely of debris collected from ocean beaches, with the goal of raising awareness about plastic pollution.

All Galleries Open!

Our renovated Connected Coasts gallery (formerly Coastal Waters) and brand-new Sea Jelly gallery are now open!

This debut marked the completion of our gallery construction; as of October 31, guests have access to every exhibit the Oregon Coast Aquarium has to offer.

New Puffin License Plate Fundraiser!

A new license plate option is landing for Oregon drivers! Each purchase directly supports marine wildlife rehabilitation and coastal conservation efforts.
