Just steps from the Gulf of Mexico, Seaside Seabird Sanctuary is a place where injured birds arrive in desperate need of help. Permanent residents find refuge, healing and sometimes, a second chance at life. Behind the sanctuary’s fences, the work reaches far beyond its 1.5 acres—from emergency rescues and rehabilitation to education, conservation and the recent need to rebuild after the facility was battered by two powerful hurricanes.
