All of our conservation, research, and rehabilitation efforts here at IMMS require significant resources.  Your generous donations will greatly help with the endless needs that arise in tending to sick and injured marine animals, in conducting research, and in the construction of the IMMS new research and education center.

A Leap of Faith
Two Dolphins Rescued

The Institute for Marine Mammal Studies dolphin rescue team which has been caring for the eight misplaced Marine Life Oceanarium dolphins were able to retrieve two dolphins at 9:30 this morning. Trained over the past week to leap onto a mat, Toni and Jackie were successfully transferred onto a boat and were temporarily moved to a hotel swimming pool. They are both doing well and receiving medical treatment to prevent illness.

The six remaining dolphins are still being fed by Marine Life trainers and will be rescued in the next few days. The Navy emergency holding tanks should arrive on Saturday.
