Pouring Concrete!
Construction of NMLC’s new marine animal hospital began in earnest March 20 with the pouring of concrete for the footings. Because we are in a flood plain and elevating the building, and because we are using a pre-engineered structure, there is a LOT of concrete work ahead! For now, we’re on our way! Stay tuned….








The National Marine Life Center is an independent, non-profit 501(c)(3) marine animal hospital and science and education center dedicated to rehabilitating for release stranded sea turtles, seals, dolphins, porpoises, and small whales, and to advancing scientific knowledge and education in marine wildlife health and conservation.

This is great! I love the new website. It is wonderful to be able to watch the progress of the construction of the new hospital! Thank you!
