Digital Membership Cards

As part of our commitment to the preservation and conservation of our natural resources and marine environment, Nauticus is thrilled to offer a faster and greener way to deliver membership benefits to you, our Members.

Digital membership cards will provide a more efficient and convenient way for Members to receive your cards, even getting your card the same day if you want! This environmentally-friendly approach supports the Museum’s vision by reducing our environmental footprint. In the first year, this change will eliminate thousands of paper letters, envelopes, and cards.
