Sea Biscuit Wildlife Shelter
Sea Biscuit Wildlife Shelter is a non-profit wild bird rehabilitation organization located in Brunswick County, North Carolina and serving the surrounding areas.
It was founded in 2007 to provide medical treatment for wild birds that are injured, sick, or orphaned. Since then, thousands of wild birds have been returned to their natural habitats and thousands of people have been educated about the needs of these amazing animals.
The Ocean Education Center serves a wealth of information on “all things ocean!” Visit the center to learn about sea turtles, seashells, dolphins, sharks, fish, crabs, jellyfish, and much more. Summer educational programs are held weekly.
The Nature Center is nestled between tall native pines, oak trees, and a beautiful salt marsh eco system. It offers a wide range of educational activities where kids and adults can learn about the environment and animals native to the Oak Island community.
