Mission Statement
We believe in preserving our environment while inspiring the human spirit through leadership in the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of marine life, environmental education, research, and conservation.
Description
We are a working animal hospital that is open to the public. Our permanent residents are animals that could no longer survive on their own in the wild. They include Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins, river otters and a number of sea turtles. Clearwater Marine Aquarium is involved with a number of marine science research initiatives, environmental conservation and public education. Programs are available for virtually every age group. CMA provides a home for many animals rescued and rehabilitated by our stranding response team, which is one of the nation's most successful. Although many of these injured or sick animals are subsequently released, some have become permanent CMA residents due to the extent of their injuries or permanent disabilities.
