Make a Donation

Every visit, animal encounter, and conservation project at the Topsail Aquarium is made possible by people who care about wildlife and our local environment. As a small, independently operated aquarium, your support goes directly toward providing exceptional care for our animals, building and improving exhibits, rescuing surrendered animals, expanding educational programs, and advancing local conservation and research projects throughout coastal North Carolina. From studying microplastics to organizing beach cleanups and inspiring the next generation of marine scientists, we're committed to making a difference both inside and outside our walls. Every donation, no matter the size, helps us continue our mission of connecting people with wildlife while protecting the ecosystems we all depend on. If you'd like to support our work, we'd be incredibly grateful for your contribution. Thank you for helping us care for our animals, educate our community, and conserve North Carolina's incredible coastal wildlife.
