More friends in the field! 🌍

Trainer Krystin had a chance to head over the Emerald Isle to spend a week at Seal Rescue Ireland! Seal Rescue Ireland specializes in seal pup rehabilitation, caring for both Harbor seal (also known as Common seals) and Grey seal pups. Throughout her time there, she worked directly alongside the rehabilitation team, assisting with daily husbandry and medical care for the pups currently in treatment.

In addition to similar tasks she performs at the Aquarium (cleaning and preparing diets), Krystin also had the opportunity to observe medical treatments, assist in animals moves, supporting pups as they transitioned to whole fish, and even got to go out on a response to a seal rescue!

"Overall, this week gave me a deeper appreciation for the intensive care and round-the-clock dedication required in marine mammal rescue. It offered valuable perspective on the journey rescued animals undergo before they are deemed non-releasable and placed in permanent care facilities. Most importantly, it strengthened my understanding of how to care for compromised, weakened animals and reinforced my passion for the collaborative work being done across our field to protect marine life."

We're always proud to support our staff in gaining a global perspective on conservation action. Great work, Krystin!

From coral reefs to rocky shores to rivers and lakes, marine and aquatic ecosystems are dynamic, complex webs of interspecies relationships. Biodiversity is the foundation of life on our planet. Being positioned literally on the border of the US and Canada, we're always mindful of our shared natural spaces.

We are all part of the global ecosystem and share the responsibility to protect the animals and habitats we share it with. Happy International Day for Biological Diversity!

Check it out – a Wyland Whaling Wall that didn't get an unexpected World Cup makeover.

We've been proudly displaying Whaling Wall #81 "Atlantic Humpback Whales" on the side of our building for nearly 30 years. It even made it onto a celebratory ice toy for our 55th Anniversary in 2020!
