Celebrate Endangered Species

Today is Endangered Species Day. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service observes Endangered Species Day “…in order to recognize the national conservation effort to protect our nation’s endangered species and their habitats.”
We’d like to recognize the 74 endangered and threatened species that the National Marine Life Center has cared for over the past six years. Our mission to rehabilitate marine animals is especially compelling when considering endangered species. The population numbers of endangered species are so low that every individual matters in that population. Each individual we can rehabilitate or headstart and release back into the wild helps their population recover.

Please donate to the National Marine Life Center and help us open our new marine animal hospital so we can save more endangered and threatened marine animals. Every gift matters. Thank you.
