Rare patient checks in to Sea Life Sunshine Coast

Sea Life Sunshine Coast Aquarium has taken part in a unique rescue mission after a seahorse was found stranded on Mooloolaba Beach by a member of the public.

While the aquarium is well known for its dedication to rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing marine turtles, this particular case shows the ongoing commitment to all marine life.

The seahorse, a captivating creature rarely encountered in rescue situations, captured the attention of the aquarium’s marine experts. After meticulous observations and a period of rest and recuperation, the seahorse has been deemed fit for release today at Mooloolaba Beach.

This extraordinary rescue underscores Sea Life Sunshine Coast’s commitment to the welfare of marine life in the region. The aquarium has only encountered a handful of seahorse rescues in the past few years, making this event particularly noteworthy.

Sea Life Sunshine Coast recently unveiled, Seahorse Kingdom, a brand-new exhibit showcasing the enchanting world of seahorses. The largest-of-its-kind display provides an immersive experience, allowing guests to marvel at the mysterious and delicate beauty of these fascinating creatures.

Seahorse Kingdom is now open and included in a general admission ticket. For more information, please visit visitsealife.com/sunshine-coast/whats-inside/exhibits/seahorse-kingdom
