Mission Statement
The Marine Animal Response Society (MARS) is dedicated to marine animal conservation through response, research and engagement.
Description
MARS is a charitable organization dedicated to marine animal conservation and welfare through response, research and education. Our goal is to foster stewardship of the marine environment by promoting a better understanding of the oceans and its inhabitants.
Every year, MARS responds to ~400-500 incidents involving dead and distressed marine animals throughout the Maritime Provinces. This work requires the dedicated effort of trained expert personnel as well as a network of volunteers throughout the region. The MARS team alone cannot respond to every incident and we simply couldn’t do the work we do without the support of our volunteers.
