Though our doors have reopened, we’re still on shaky ground. We’re facing a force unlike ever before, and we cannot withstand its strength alone. As threats continue to test our fortitude, an alarming reality rings true. Without a significant infusion of financial support, we will lose the heart and soul of who we are: Our education programming and our Sea Turtle Care Center™.

For 20 years our doors have welcomed adults and kids alike, igniting a lifelong calling to protect water, wildlife and wild places. Now, we’re the ones in dire need of relief, so we can continue inspiring the conservationists of tomorrow and caring for sea turtles who need us most.

The South Carolina Aquarium is a nonprofit organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. All contributions are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law. Our tax ID number (EIN) is 57-0961897.

We need to raise $1.6 million.

Help save the heart and soul of the Aquarium.

Some of these core programs have already been reduced or suspended, with an unclear understanding of how and when they will return. Can we imagine our world without them?
