Sea Change Sundays: Discover How You Can Make Waves for Ocean Conservation
What if your next visit to Georgia Aquarium could do more than inspire wonder? What if it could connect you directly to the people, research, and conservation efforts working to protect aquatic life around the world?
This November, we’re introducing Sea Change Sundays, a new series designed to bring our mission to life through meaningful, face-to-face experiences with the people and programs making a difference for our world’s ocean and the animals that call it home.
Each Sunday, guests are invited to explore the interactive station in our Atrium from 12-5PM, where they’ll discover the stories behind our conservation work, get an up-close look at research and animal care, and learn how their support helps make it all possible.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, every visit, ticket purchase, and donation helps support the work happening within and far beyond our walls. Sea Change Sundays offers a new way to see that impact firsthand, ask questions, connect with our team, and discover how you can be part of something bigger.

Throughout November, each Sea Change Sunday will spotlight a different area of our conservation and research efforts, offering interactive experiences and opportunities to connect with the people behind the work.
