Dolphins Plus Marine Mammal Responder

It could be a mass stranding. It might be a whale or dolphin tangled in fishing line. Often, it’s injured or orphaned manatees that are the docile victims of reckless or unaware boaters.

Our unit is comprised of skilled veterinarians and highly trained marine mammal experts who have saved HUNDREDS of dolphins, whales and manatees. We are the first responders that the Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission contact and count on when emergencies arise.

We are committed to preserving the lives of the marine mammals we care so deeply about. But we can’t do it alone. The Marine Mammal Responder Unit is funded entirely by the programs at DPMMR and the donations of people, like you, who care.

If you are in a position to help us, please donate. Anything you can give will make a big difference and 100% of your tax-deductible donation goes continuing the great work of the Marine Mammal Responder Unit. We’re immensely proud of the difference we make for our ocean friends, and we invite you to share that feeling with a donation to the Marine Mammal Responder Unit. Thanks for your support.
