As you might imagine, the Oregon Coast Aquarium is struggling a bit right now. They have very little revenue coming in from a loss in ticket sales over the last few months (the aquarium closed to the public in mid-March), but they still have to care and feed for 15,000 animals every day.
Enjoy these videos of just a few of the animals at the aquarium–consider it a virtual tour–and if you’re in a position to help out, here’s the link to provide a donation: https://aquarium.org/support/make-a-donation/emergency-fund/
