OREGON COAST AQUARIUM
In the early 1980s, the idea of the Aquarium was formed with the goal of establishing a quality attraction that would benefit the citizens of Newport as well as the millions of tourists who visit the Oregon coast every year. The Oregon Coast Aquarium became incorporated as a (501)(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization in 1984, and after years of planning and fundraising, its doors opened to the public on May 23rd, 1992.
Since its opening, the Aquarium has perpetuated its mission of connecting guests with the Oregon coast, and ultimately inspiring ocean conservation, through its enduring dedication to Oregon’s native wildlife. Consistently ranked within the top 10 aquariums in the country, the Aquarium fosters environmental stewardship and acts as an essential resource of conservation education while providing extraordinary care to both the animals residing in its habitats and wildlife in need of rescue and rehabilitation.
