Yes, You Can Still Be a Hero

There are many seals and sea lions like Osprey in our care right now. Some are orphaned and others are injured, but they all have one thing in common: they need your help to return home for the holidays. 

When you give today, your gift will be matched up to $3,000 by your fellow ocean lovers, Barbara and David Beasley. And your matched donation will be put right to work where it’s needed most. Yes, you will help provide double the meals and meds an animal needs for a second chance at life.

Book a Tour to Meet Our Patients

This patient is a Hawaiian monk seal, the most endangered marine mammal species in the United States. As a species endemic to Hawai´i, they can only be found in the Main Hawaiian Islands and the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. 

We often see stranded monk seals suffering from malnutrition or maternal separation. Other common threats this species faces are disease, predation, entanglement and negative human interactions.
