Overview

Down the driftwood lined path through the shore pines, you pass under a rock arch and into the ocean exhibit. Steller's sea lions sun themselves on rocks in one of the few exhibits of these animals in the world.

Sea otters frolic in the next pool, graceful creatures that once hunted sea urchins and other invertebrates in Oregon's kelp forests.


Kelp ForestThe kelp forest exhibit is home to many fish and invertebrates seldom seen by land dwelling humans.

In the research station, learn about the questions researchers ask to determine the health of animal populations.

After an underwater look at the huge Steller's sea lions, explore the sturdy animals of the fragile tide pool ecosystem.
