Our mission is to provide a top quality, world class aquatic life facility that will foster environmental education, conservation, and research, while simultaneously providing entertainment for visitors of all ages.
PENGUIN CONSERVATION
WHAT IS SANCCOB?
It’s an acronym for The Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds. Long name, but a great worthy cause.
This non-profit seabird rehabilitation center is based in Cape Town, South Africa. They are internationally recognized for their rehabilitation efforts.
Treated over 85,000 birds since inception in 1968. In addition to rehabilitation, especially for threatened species, they aim to raise awareness about conservation through education.
MORE INFOPENGUIN PAINTINGS
Our sister property, Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies, donated over $6,000 last year alone to SANCCOB from proceeds of Ripley’s penguin artwork. Ripley’s Aquarium of Myrtle Beach is excited to join in on the effort! When you purchase an original penguin painting—created by the Aquarium’s very own feathered friends—50% of all proceeds go straight to SANCOBB and their conservation efforts on behalf of these amazing birds.
