Alaska SeaLife Center, Public aquarium and research center in Seward, United States.
The Alaska SeaLife Center is a marine research facility in Seward that houses exhibits featuring puffins, octopuses, sea lions, and other northern Pacific species. The tanks are designed to recreate the natural environments where these animals live.
The facility opened in 1998 to address the need for marine animal rehabilitation and scientific research along Alaska's coastline. Since then it has grown into a major center for ocean research and conservation efforts.
The center incorporates Indigenous knowledge through educational programs and animal naming practices using Iñupiaq language. These approaches connect scientific work with local traditions and community values.
The facility offers daily presentations, guided tours, and educational programs for visitors of all ages. Plan to spend time exploring the indoor exhibits and check opening hours before your visit.
The center conducts research on Arctic seals and monitors seabird populations to understand how environmental changes affect marine life. This work contributes directly to protecting the region and advancing ocean science.
