Hurricane Updates
Clearwater Marine Aquarium (CMA) was severely impacted by Hurricane Helene on Sept. 26 as it hit our waterfront facility with high storm surge and strengthened to become a category 4 storm causing widespread damage.
We are grateful to report Clearwater Marine Aquarium sustained minimal damage from Hurricane Milton on Oct. 9. A big thank you to our team members who prepared our facility for the storm and to the ride out team who stayed at the aquarium for the duration of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, ensuring the safety of our animals. Now, we focus on recovery and work towards reopening.
Due to these impacts, we have remained closed for nearly three weeks. We are excited to reopen with limited evening hours for Aqua Lanterns from 6:30pm-9:30pm, Oct. 18-20 and we will reopen with regular hours starting Oct. 21. Your visit will help us recover from these devastating storms and continue our mission. Click below for more updates and ways to donate.
