Marine Animals

Many marine mammals call the beach home. They use it while giving birth, sleeping, and recuperating. Help them feel safe by giving them plenty of room.

Marine mammals use the beach as a place to rest, especially when they are not feeling well. Often, an animal will haul out of the water for several days to recuperate from a long journey or while feeling under the weather. The best way to help these animals is to give them plenty of space so that they feel safe enough to rest. If you do see a marine mammal on the beach, we encourage you the call the Seaside Aquarium at (503) 738-6211.
