Let’s Connect with Ocean Connections

I wanted to give some acknowledgment and appreciation to the marine conservation group Ocean Connections in helping communities to get involved with the ocean world. Offering education, advocacy, and care for marine life. From their home base in Milwaukee to outreach in South Carolina, they show how the ocean sustains both ecosystems and people.

Ocean Connections in Myrtle Beach brings their mission to life through immersive programs, like teaming up with the Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show for things like beach clean-ups, and animal ambassador appearances at the dinner shows, public and private seal and sea lion shows, and educational programs for schools and groups.

Interactive animal encounters this educational experience is where you can meet, feed, and train sealions. Sounds like an amazing experience for anyone interested in being around marine life in a calm setting. They also take part in School and Zoo field trips with interactive activities and demonstrations. They also have Volunteer Opportunities where they offer programs for volunteers to learn about animal care, training, and conservation.

What they offer the Ocean

  • Forever homes for rescued seals and sea lions.

  • Daily care, nutrition, and enrichment to ensure animal welfare.

  • Advocacy for conservation awareness and sustainable practices.

What they offer the Community

  • Inspiring experiences that connect families and visitors to marine life.

  • Education that turns curiosity into conservation action.

  • A reminder that Myrtle Beach is not just a tourist destination, but a living classroom for ocean connection.

Ocean Connections shows us that the ocean’s story is our story. In Myrtle Beach, every encounter-whether with a sea lion, a soaring macaw, or the waves themselves-is a chance to connect. Let’s carry that connection forward, protecting the ocean and strengthening the communities that depend on it.
