The Sanctuary (formerly known as Dolphin Marine Conservation Park) was established in 1970 as a rescue and rehabilitation centre for sick and injured marine animals and we continue this vital service today. Coffs Coast Wildlife Sanctuary is the only place in Australia where you can experience marine mammals up so close including bottle-nosed dolphins, endangered Australian Sea Lions, Little Blue Penguins, Freshwater Turtles and local Reef Fish. Plus you can see our marine animal and rehabilitation hospital at work. We rescue, rehabilitate and release hundreds of sea turtles every year.

The Solitary Islands Aquarium, located at Southern Cross University's National Marine Science Centre, serves as an important community asset helping to bring an awareness and appreciation for our marine environment through education and science.
