World Oceans Day 🌊

Today, we’re celebrating the incredible ocean that connects us all.

Did you know the ocean is home to over 240,000 known animal species, including grey seals🦭

Every year, we see firsthand how important a healthy ocean is for marine wildlife. So far, this pup season, we’ve rescued 47 seal pups, including 4 vulnerable white coats and 2 entanglement cases requiring urgent care.

From pollution and marine debris to climate change and habitat loss, our oceans face growing challenges. That’s why every rescue, rehabilitation, and release matters.

This World Oceans Day, join us in protecting the seas that so many species call home. Together, we can help ensure future generations of seals and other marine life continue to thrive!
