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.
