Adoptions start at just $25 for digital benefits. At the $100 level, your adoption comes with a special gift: an eco-friendly plush—crafted from recycled plastic bottles—and an exclusive Aquarium tote bag, perfect for sharing this meaningful mission with your loved ones. Adoptions at higher levels can also include admission tickets and animal encounters.

Why Adopt an Animal?

Your animal adoption helps fund our many education and conservation initiatives, animal rehabilitation work, and important animal breeding efforts.

Adopt a Harbor Seal

Harbor seals are opportunistic feeders, meaning they eat many types of food and can adapt to whatever is available. In short, they are not fussy eaters. They need to eat 5 to 6 percent of their body weight in food per day, which can add up to about 20 pounds for a large male. Help us keep our harbor seals full and happy.
