Your Membership Makes a Difference!
Birch Aquarium at Scripps receives no direct state funding, and must generate more than $4 million each year in gifts,
grants, and income to operate its programs. Your membership provides vital support for the aquarium's interactive
exhibits and dynamic public programs for all ages.
Your support also helps the aquarium maintain successful breeding programs (seahorses, corals, and more), which
help reduce the need for collections in the wild.
Membership also provides crucial support for Scripps' outreach efforts, helping the aquarium deliver exciting science
programs directly into the schools and communities, and promoting awareness of ocean science research.
Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego is one of the
largest, oldest, and most important centers
for global science research and graduate student training in the world.
Birch Aquarium at Scripps is the public
exploration center for Scripps, dedicated to promoting ocean science
education, interpreting Scripps research, and promoting
ocean conservation. Come join in the journey of exploration and
discovery through membership and donor support. We thank you for your
support.
