The funds you raise as a participant of the Seal Splash will go to help Mystic Aquarium’s Animal Rescue Program. Our dedicated team provides specialized and compassionate care for the rehabilitation of the animals with the ultimate goal of releasing them back into their natural habitat.

The efforts of the Aquarium and its volunteer “first responder” network are centered on the coasts of Connecticut, Rhode Island and Fishers Island, NY. To date the Aquarium has responded to more than 1,100 stranded seals, whales, dolphins, porpoises and sea turtles.

Mystic Aquarium’s Animal Rescue Program supports animals in need, educates the public about the marine environment and its inhabitants, and works to inspire people to care about and protect our ocean planet.
