Description
~ Located within Odiorne Point State Park, the Seacoast Science Center has been connecting people to the wonders of our coast since 1992. ~
Our live animal exhibits feature the amazing creatures that live in the rapidly changing Gulf of Maine ecosystem, from whales to snails. Our engaging programs make learning about the ocean fun for everyone, from pre-K to grey. Our hands-on science exhibits, from undersea exploration to marine debris, motivate families to become caretakers of our blue planet.
We are the home of New Hampshire's Marine Mammal Rescue Team, responding to marine mammals along New Hampshire's coast. Our rescue work creates coastal communities that are safe for both people and seals. Each seal-side conversation is an opportunity to educate people about the animals and their coastal ocean habitat.
One of just 100 federally authorized response organizations, our rescue work contributes critical data for research on the status of these protected species, considered the early warning system for ocean health.
We hold highly valued community events throughout the year from Music-by-the-Sea concerts to Sippin' for Seals. Each reaches a different audience, yet all combine to reinforce our belief that a healthy ocean drives our quality of life today and will drive quality of life for future generations.
