All marine turtle footage taken in Florida was obtained with the approval of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) under conditions not harmful to marine turtles. Footage was acquired while conducting authorized conservation activities pursuant to FWC MTP-23/24-172.

Six new dolphins. One big commitment.

Our growing dolphin family needs your help. We’re proud to welcome two new bottlenose dolphins and four new rescued rough-toothed dolphins to our facility in the past year. But we need your help now to provide their vital care. Doris, Kitana, Dagny, and Wren were rescued and later deemed non-releasable, meaning they can’t survive on their own in the wild. Bottlenose dolphins, Star and Squirt are also deemed non-releasable and needed a new home after their former facility closed to the public.. They each have unique needs shaped by their individual rescue stories.

It will cost more than $125,000 each year to provide their specialized care, and they need your support today. You can help us provide veterinary treatment, enrichment, and a dedicated team trained to help them thrive. Your support helps us provide these new residents with the highest level of specialized care.
Please act now and help us with their essential, ongoing care.
