At the Daytona Aquarium and Rainforest Adventure we are dedicated to education and conservation.
As a human, we can have the greatest impact by looking at the little things that we can do every day.
It is part of our mission to help our community by supporting local conservation efforts such as the Volusia County Turtle Patrol 5k race.

We support the Volusia County Turtle Patrol!
Sea turtles are often at risk from pollution, fishermen’s nets, items left on the beach that they ingest, and even bright lights that cause them to be disoriented. With a little education, people are able to recognize sea turtle nests and realize how important it is to help protect their natural habitat. We need to ensure the eggs, which sea turtles lay, are kept from harm, so the young hatchlings have a chance to make it to the ocean and prolong the species.
We support I Care about Coral Restoration!
In the summer of 2025, the Daytona Aquarium and Rainforest Adventure sent two of our aquarists to Islamorada in the Florida Keys to work with I.care and Key Dives to restore Florida’s reefs by planting native corals back out on the reef. We hope to participate in more restorative dives in the future!
Together, we can restore our coral reefs!
