The Cost of Community Marine Education » Donate Online
The Pier Aquarium has provided community marine education for 23+ years. With dwindling funding, we've done some belt tightening but the expenses are still there.
Add up some of our yearly expenses: $500 to feed our 4-ft. long green moray eel; $4,000 for four science cafes; $1,550 for one six-week Ocean in Motion; $3,000 to feed our Coral Catsharks; $5,000 to create saltwater, $8,600 to maintain the coral reef tank.
The cost of creating stewards of the marine environment? PRICELESS! The Cost of Community Marine Education Additional Details »
$1 Shark to Support Shark Conservation » Donate Online
The Pier Aquarium has been raising coral catsharks from egg cases for the past two years and has started an aquaculture program to lessen the need to harvest in the wild.
You can help support our Shark Conservation program by purchasing a $1 "e"-shark" that will be delivered to your e-mail address. If you purchase multiple sharks you will receive a certificate indicating how many sharks are "being delivered!" $1 Shark to Support Shark Conservation Additional Details »
