Back to the Sea Society hasn't added a story.

WE'RE MOVING! We are so thankful for the six years we've spent on the waterfront at Alderney Landing. For many, the teal Touch Tank Hut had become a staple of the parking lot. We've grown a bit too big for our tank though, wouldn't you say?

This summer season, we will be operating an all new Back to the Sea Centre at Martins Park. You will find us at 140 Alderney Drive along the Shubenacadie Canal Trail!
Our new building is not quite ready for visitors, and there is a lot of work to be done. You can bring this old vessel back to life by making a tax deductible donation to Back to the Sea's crowdfunding campaign! Select a wishlist item or a perk from the options on the right, or create a custom donation amount to suit your budget!
This new location is much bigger than our initial hut, so we will be better equipped to handle all our visitors (from above and below water!). When you visit this season, you'll see all the hard work you've supported come to life in the all new Kids' Corner, exciting new exhibits, and even more marine life to learn about. 

Back to the Sea Society is a registered charity dedicated to sparking curiosity for marine life and inspiring a desire to protect our ocean. Every year, we offer a variety of programming that educates people on the marine animals found in the Atlantic Ocean. Since 2017, we have operated the Touch Tank Hut and have welcomed over 15,000 visitors. We are now ready to expand and look forward to welcoming even more visitors to our new Dartmouth location. Your donation will help support this work so, together, we can continue to inspire people of all ages to care for our ocean!
