Are you looking for a way to liven up your days inside? The Alaska SeaLife Center is offering free livestreams of the animals in their sea life center to anyone that wants to tune in on their YouTube channel. This is a fascinating way to learn more about Alaska’s amazing marine life, and beat some of the cabin fever that’s creeping in!
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
This center is located in Seward, Alaska, but is currently closed. In order to make up for missed revenue, they've started offering online educational videos and live streams of some of Alaskan's favorite animals.
Their most recent video was about plankton and jellyfish, appropriately called: Precious Plankton. It was an exploration into the smallest members of the ocean that make up the end of the food chain.
The aquarists are smart and fun, and the educational sessions are interactive. You are encouraged to ask questions so you can learn more about what you're seeing!
They keep the camera pointed at the animal habitats from 9:00 a.m. AST to 5:00 p.m. AST. These hours make it perfect for you to peek in during the day to see what's going on.
They have microhabitat feedings, video of puffins, and even undersea divers feeding the wolf eel! No matter what you're interested in learning about under the sea, they will have something for you.
She is a Steller Sea Lion, and a blast to watch! You can learn about what kind of foods she eats as you watch them feed her. Oftentimes, you'll see her jump out of the water, and other fun things.
If you want to help, consider donating to their organization, or sign up as a subscriber on their YouTube channel. You will get updates whenever a fun new video is out and access to their all day streams. In return, they'll bring in money to use to feed their animals, and pay for their facility.
You can find their YouTube channel here.
