The museum was established to display marine mammal artifacts for the purpose of public education. Featured are several life-sized replicas of marine mammals, sea turtles, and fish, all found in New Jersey waters or stranded on beaches. In addition, educational displays explain the plight of marine animals that ingest marine debris and plastics. Displays of marine mammal artifacts features a sperm whale's jaw bone, dolphin spinal column, skulls, and vertebrae and rib bones of small and large whales. The gift area is one of our sources of funding to maintain our operations. Our ever popular "Cupid the Seal" t-shirts, unique gifts, books, other apparel, and more can be found in our gift shop, both in the museum and online!
