Clearwater Marine Aquarium is located in Clearwater, Florida
We are a unique facility, specializing in the rescue, rehabilitation and release of sick or injured marine animals. All the animals that come through our doors arrive because they were suffering from an illness or severe injury in the wild. We have a 24-hour emergency stranding line to report a marine animal emergency, and a CMA staff member is paged to respond to the emergency no matter what time it is. If an animal needs our assistance in the middle of the night, we will be there.
Once the animal arrives at our hospital, a team of experienced CMA staff biologists, veterinarians and volunteers create a rehabilitation plan for the animal specifically catering to its injury or illness. Sometimes the injuries are so severe, or the animal is so young, that it would not be in the animal’s best interest to release it back into the wild. CMA works with agencies such as National Marine Fisheries and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to make these decisions. If the animal is unable to be released back into the wild, it becomes a permanent member of the CMA family, and lives here to serve as an ambassador for their species to help us promote environmental conservation.
Clearwater Marine Aquarium’s mission is to restore and preserve our marine environment.
We accomplish our mission through leadership in education, research, and the rescue, rehabilitation, & release of marine life.
