Catch & Release Ucluelet Aquarium: New Record Attendance & Fundraising in 2024
Ucluelet Aquarium的点评
点评：The non-profit catch & release Ucluelet Aquarium (UA) is something I am a total & unreserved fan of, joining a few other things I have such unbridled enthusiasm for, such as naturalist, ocean lover, writer, & broadcaster, David Attenborough; & outdoor teaching & awareness creating & learning Outward Bound to name a few.
Of course there are other things I am enthusiastic about but I am careful to only attach the notion of “unreservedly” to a few things.
UA is just finishing off its 2024 season, as its best season ever, in terms of attendance & fundraising, a success which comes hot on the heels of a very successful 2023, which ended last year as its most successful yet.
It is likely that the UA will continue to go on to ever more successful years on all fronts.
In 2024 it reached its cedar fish fin plaque fundraising goal of 20,000$, which kicked off in April 2023.
For a donation of at least 200$ one is able to get a crafted cedar fish fin plaque, which is then attached to an image of a big fish, with an inscription on it, which is limited to 26 characters.
I got one at the start of the fundraising campaign, expressing my gratitude to my Ukee family, then going on to encourage all I knew across the country to do likewise, something I did fairly successfully. Donations, of course, receive a tax credit.
After a slower start last year,, it has this year reached its 20, 000 $ goal with now circa 95 donations, but will continue the fundraiser as there is still attachment room on the fish image, which adorns the front of the inspirational designed blue building located at Ukee’s inner harbour’s edge.
So one can still, albeit it it’s initial goal is achieved, get one’s inscription up.
Its figure for seasonal visitor attendance is still to be fully tallied after it closes its doors on November30 but months, especially in the summer, were generally 20 pct up on last year, its science communications staffer told me in November, two weeks before it closed so as to enable it to clean & set up for next year’s 2025 season.
The ocean village, which locals affectionately refer to as Ukee, is invited on December 7 to come & help return the sea animals to the surrounding waters, from which they came. This it does annually.
It opens again on March 1st.
Sea animals generally spend nine months at the UA but it can be shorter for species like the Pacific Octopus, where it is better to limit their sojourn at the UA for health reasons.
The UA is extremely careful with the health of the sea creatures they catch & then release.
Its mission is to create awareness & respect for the ocean & the creatures which live in it.
This it does extremely well.
The vet has already visited & cleared the sea animals healthy so as to be returned “home”.
There are many ways to donate to this wonderful place of ocean learning. This can range from sponsoring large tanks at around 2,000! $ plus, as well as smaller ones @ around 300$ plus, or its kitchen or library etc.
I have sponsored a large tank & also cards of smaller creatures named to my family members.
Business & families are generous in their support of this Ukee gem.
Eateries such as Heartwood, & Ucluelet Brewing Company, as well as Black Rock, & the Coop, are regular sponsors, as is legendary realtor, Judy Gray.
Also many local families are regular sponsors.
Entrance visiting hours are from 10!am to circa 4pm daily, with admission inexpensive with a number of price age categories. One can also get season passes if one aims to come in regularly.
I can unreservedly recommend this Ukee gem.

翻译：我完全、毫无保留地喜欢非营利性的 Ucluelet 水族馆 (UA)，同时，我也对其他一些事情有着无限的热情，例如自然主义者、海洋爱好者、作家和广播员 David Attenborough；户外教学和意识培养与学习 Outward Bound 等等。
当然，我还对其他事情充满热情，但我会小心地只将“毫无保留”的概念与少数事情联系起来。
UA 刚刚结束了 2024 赛季，这是有史以来最好的赛季，就出席人数和筹款而言，这一成功紧随非常成功的 2023 赛季之后，而 2023 赛季去年结束时是迄今为止最成功的。
UA 很可能会在各方面继续取得更加成功的年份。
2024 年，它实现了 20,000 美元的雪松鱼鳍牌匾筹款目标，该目标于 2023 年 4 月启动。
捐款至少 200 美元，即可获得一块精心制作的雪松鱼鳍牌匾，然后将其附在一条大鱼的图像上，上面刻有铭文，限制为 26 个字符。
我在筹款活动开始时就得到了一个，表达了我对 Ukee 家人的感激之情，然后继续鼓励我认识的全国各地的人也这样做，我做得相当成功。当然，捐款可以获得税收抵免。
去年起步较慢，今年已经达到了 20,000 美元的目标，目前捐款约 95 笔，但将继续筹款，因为鱼图像上仍有附着空间，它装饰着位于 Ukee 内港边缘的灵感设计的蓝色建筑的正面。
因此，尽管最初的目标已经实现，人们仍然可以在上面题字。
11 月 30 日闭馆后，季节性游客人数仍有待统计，但几个月来，尤其是夏季，游客人数通常比去年增加了 20%，科学通讯工作人员在 11 月告诉我，当时距离闭馆还有两周时间，以便清理和准备明年 2025 年的开放季。
当地人亲切地称这个海洋村为 Ukee，12 月 7 日，人们会邀请这个海洋村前来，帮助海洋动物回归它们来自的周围水域。每年都会这样做。
3 月 1 日，海洋村再次开放。
海洋动物通常在 UA 度过 9 个月，但对于像太平洋章鱼这样的物种来说，时间可能更短，出于健康原因，最好限制它们在 UA 的逗留时间。
UA 对他们捕获并释放的海洋生物的健康状况非常谨慎。
它的使命是提高人们对海洋及其生物的认识和尊重。
它在这方面做得非常好。
兽医已经检查过海洋动物，并让它们恢复健康，以便它们可以“回家”。
有很多方法可以向这个奇妙的海洋学习场所捐款。这可以是赞助大约 2,000 美元以上的大型水箱，也可以赞助大约 300 美元以上的小型水箱，或者赞助它的厨房或图书馆等。
我赞助了一个大型水箱，还有以我的家人命名的小型生物卡片。
企业和家庭都慷慨地支持这个 Ukee 瑰宝。
Heartwood、Ucluelet Brewing Company、Black Rock 和 Coop 等餐馆是定期赞助商，传奇房地产经纪人 Judy Gray 也是。
许多当地家庭也是定期赞助商。
每天的入场参观时间为上午 10 点至下午 4 点左右，门票价格便宜，适合多个年龄段。如果想经常来，也可以购买季票。
我毫无保留地推荐这家 Ukee 精品店。
