Imagine having an immersive aquarium experience on the shores of the Banana River full of educational, family fun and the ability to learn about native marine species. That’s what the Brevard Zoo Aquarium Project is all about. We’re bringing together business leaders, educators, scientists and the citizens of this community to fulfill a grand vision of building a world-class aquarium that would also be home to initiatives that address critical environmental concerns. This includes education programs, scientific research and collaboration to restore the Indian River Lagoon, animal rehabilitation, and more. Not only will an aquarium give visitors and residents alike additional recreational options, but it will create jobs, have a positive economic impact on area businesses, and through teaching responsible environmental habits, protect property values and the coastal life we call home. As we embark on this journey, we hope you’ll join us. https://theaquariumproject.org/ Your support as an advocate, donor, volunteer or partner is critical to the success of the Aquarium Project. As we saw with the creation of Brevard Zoo, community-led advocacy creates long-lasting benefits for residents, tourists and the business community.

Founded in 1995 as PigHoppers, Great Lakes Rabbit Sanctuary reflects the need for safe homes for unwanted rabbits, who are often overlooked by shelters and humane societies. GLRS offers a permanent, safe, happy home to many of the animal residents who arrive here. Most healthy rabbits are adopted out to good homes. All mammals are spayed or neutered, health permitting, so as not to contribute to the overpopulation of these animals in our society. GLRS educates the public about the plight of these animals in our society, their needs and required care, through tours of the sanctuary, a newsletter, and public appearances. One of our goals is to prevent rabbits from ending up in a shelter or sanctuary by educating people who are considering acquiring one of these animals.
