Conservation Stewards
The South Carolina Aquarium Conservation Stewards is a community of annual supporters with a deep connection to the Aquarium, inspired to lead the way to connect people with water, wildlife, and wild places. Conservation Stewards support the efforts of the Aquarium to preserve South Carolina’s natural treasures, conserve habitats, and connect individuals to the wonder of the natural world.
Our conservation and education programs would not be possible without the generous support of Conservation Stewards, who make annual contributions above and beyond the cost of a regular membership. You are invited to deepen your connection with the Aquarium and make an impact that reaches far beyond the Aquarium’s walls by becoming a Conservation Steward. In appreciation of your contribution, the following benefits will be extended:
$300 Level
Membership at the Family Plus level; and
Special invitations to Conservation Stewards exclusive events
$500 Level
All of the above; plus
Private behind-the-scenes tour for up to six people annually (Must schedule at least three days in advance)
$1000 Level
All of the above; plus
An invitation to one Watershed Society event.
Lead the way in connecting people with water, wildlife and wild places as a Conservation Steward. Please contact Brittany St. Sauveur, Gift Officer, at (843) 579-8628 or bstsauveur@scaquarium.org.

Pillars of Support
The Pillars of Support are opportunities to invest in our mission and leave a lasting impression on the Aquarium landscape. With a gift starting at $500, your family’s name will be beautifully and artistically displayed on a legacy fish on one of four lighted pillars, prominently exhibited within the Aquarium’s Great Hall. Your fish will publicly recognize family’s support and legacy within the South Carolina Aquarium.
