Turn your phone ↪️ and dive into the Great Ocean Tank with us 🐠 Soar past a stingray, lock eyes with a barracuda and even bump noses with Caretta as though you were drifting in the midst of the deepest tank in North America 💙 . . . #aquarium #scaquarium #sc #chs #charleston #charlestonsc #bluemind #diver #diving #barracuda

Meet Hashbrown, our first sea turtle patient of the year! Sporting a potato(tally) perfect breakfast-themed name, this little green instantly won over our hearts. While we may enjoy hashbrowns smothered and covered with all the fixins’, this little Hashbrown had a few too many “toppings” for our taste! Covered in mud and epibiota (like tunicates and algae), we believe s/he has been sick for quite some time. With fluids, vitamins, antibiotics and a lot of rest, this tater(tot) of a turtle should make a full, if not slow, recovery. Stay up-to-date on Hashbrown’s story through her/his patient blog: scaquarium.org/hashbrown #aquarium #southcarolinaaquarium #seaturtle #seaturtlerescue #wildliferescue #charleston #myrtlebeach #strandings #rescue #greenseaturtle All sea turtle conservation work is authorized by the SC Department of Natural Resources Marine Turtle Permit No. 2024-0004

Celebrate #NationalASLDay by learning a few signs for different animals at the Aquarium!

The competition is fierce, but Pippen may hold the title for one of the most loved ambassador animals amongst our staff! 💙 Pippen has been cared for by humans since she hatched and has strong bonds with her caretakers. Developing trust between Pippen and her keeper, Alina, is important to keeping this sweet little bird calm and safe during her medical examinations like this one! #aquarium #southcarolinaaquarium #commonbarnowl #barnowl #veterinarymedicine #aviculture #birds #owls
