SPRING 2025 I PLAY COASTAL MISSISSIPPI 83
IMMS Marine Mammal Stranding Network (1.888.SOS.DOLPHIN), as they provide immediate intervention for stranded marine life along our shores. Ocean Adventures offers the public an inside, interactive look into the sea life housed at this facility.
“When you come to Mississippi, it’s hard to see a lot of the good things out there in nature,” remarks Dr. Moby Solangi, President and Executive Director. “Ocean Adventures is the place where you can touch, feel, and enjoy nature. We make learning fun!”
Bringing nature to life, Ocean Adventures Marine Park allows visitors to immerse themselves in the beauty and vitality of the nature around them. “These animals are stewards for their species,” says Samia Ahmad, VP, CFO, and Director of Marketing and Public Relations. Ocean Adventures imparts guests with a love of learning while encouraging compassion and advocacy for our marine life.
As I embarked at Ocean Adventures, I was pleasantly surprised with my first encounter – the Parakeet Aviary. Immediately, visitors will be captivated by the hustle and bustle of these colorful, feathered friends. Always looking for a snack (me too, budgies, me too), these birdies love to engage with guests who kindly share a seed stick or two. With fragile agility and a seemingly weightless presence, these parakeets will happily climb and chirp a fine little tune while munching on a treat.
