An oil spill spells trouble for Seaside Sanctuary and the birds and other marine animals that live along the beach, including a young pelican that Elsa and Olivia rescue. All the birds need to be carefully cleaned and given medical attention--but there's another problem: until the spill is cleaned up the birds can't be released, and the company responsible for the spill doesn't seem interested in doing its part.

When an orca is rescued from a less-reputable aquarium and brought to Seaside Sanctuary, the seaside marine biology facility where her parents work, Elsa Roth is excited to help with the animal's care and rehab. It's a crucial step before it can be released into the wild. But the whale has been in captivity for a long time. It's up to Elsa and the rest of the sanctuary staff to teach the animal how to live on its own-the whale's survival depends on it.

Seaside Sanctuary is supposed to be a safe place for marine animals, but suddenly dolphins are getting sick-and no one can explain why. Since Elsa Roth spends all of her time at the sanctuary, a perk of her parents' jobs there, she's well acquainted with all the animals. Elsa is especially worried about Star, a young dolphin she bonded with after seeing him in his wild pen. When the crisis intensifies, it's up to Elsa to get to solve the mystery before it's too late for Star and the rest of the dolphins.
