Description and Activities:
The Clearwater Marine Aquarium is a 501(c)(3), nonprofit,
working Aquarium dedicated to public education, marine
research, animal assisted therapy and the rescue, rehabilitation
and release of injured or sick whales, dolphins, otters
and sea turtles. As your "Window to the Sea"
we hope to provide visitors and residents with a better
understanding and appreciation for the marine environment.
As a working Aquarium it is our mission to educate and
foster preservation and conservation of the marine animals
and habitats.
CMA 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 marine 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.
CMA resident animals include a dolphin, sea turtles
and North American river otters.
