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 familiar 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 solve the mystery before it''s too late for Star and the rest of the dolphins.

An oil spill in the ocean means destruction for both animals and their habitats - and lots of work for Seaside Sanctuary, where Elsa Roth''s parents work. When pelicans are gravely hurt in the spill and brought into the sanctuary, Elsa and her friends are given important roles in caring for the birds. But the animals can''t be released until their habitat is clean - and the company responsible for the spill doesn''t seem interested in stepping up. Can Elsa and her friends spearhead the clean-up and save the pelicans?

Elsa Roth and her best friend, Olivia, are excited to tag along with Elsa’s mother on a month-long expedition to study the diet of orca whales in the San Juan Islands. But when a young orca is found separated from his pod, things take an unexpected turn. They’re soon caught up in a battle for August, the young orca. A less-reputable aquarium wants him for their facility, while the San Juan Marine Mammal Sanctuary, where Elsa and Olivia are staying, is focused on the whale’s rehab and release—something that’s never been successfully done before. It’s up to Elsa and the rest of the sanctuary staff to keep August safe and teach him how to survive on his own—the whale’s survival depends on it.

Elsa Roth''s life at a seaside marine biology facility is about to change. Summer is coming to a close and there are new arrivals at Seaside Sanctuary: a group of otters. The adorable otters aren''t the only newcomers - a new group of volunteers is also starting at the sanctuary. When Warren, a classmate of Elsa''s, shows up in the group she''s less than thrilled. He''s been nothing but rude to her at school and doesn''t seem at all interested in animals. But soon Elsa has bigger problems on her hands. One by one, the otters start disappearing. Can Elsa get to the bottom of things before more animals go missing?
