Our Story

Founded in 1996, the New York Marine Rescue Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which relies on public donations to help support the various efforts which include response and rehabilitation of marine mammals and sea turtles as well as community outreach and educational programs.

Our mission is to:

  • Operate the only facility in New York permitted to rehabilitate marine mammals and sea turtles;
  • Collect sound science to help identify stranding trends, highlight viruses and continue to protect endangered and threatened species; and
  • Encourage conservation and stewardship of the marine environmental through scientific research and public educational programs.
