The Sea Life Museum is operated by the Marine Mammal Stranding Center, the only rescue facility in New Jersey that handles sick and injured marine life such as whales, dolphins, seals, and sea turtles. The museum features 25 life-sized replicas of marine mammals and fish, all found or stranded in New Jersey waters. In addition, educational displays explain the plight of marine animals that ingest ocean debris. A “Please Touch” display of marine mammal bones features a sperm whale’s jaw bone, dolphin spinal column, skulls, vertebrae and rib bones of small and large whales. In the summertime, a 1000-gallon outdoor tank is set up and maintained by a crew of volunteers and interns. Weekly seining trips, which are open to the public, keep the tank stocked with local and incidental fish.
