Another education program offered by the IMMS is our Community Outreach Program. IMMS staff routinely go into local schools to educate students about marine mammals and the environment. Specific IMMS efforts in which you might be interested include:
* Science Fairs
* Field Trips
* Career Shadow Day
* In-depth training seminars featuring national experts in the field

 

We would like to offer our sincerest thanks to all the gracious volunteers, organizations, government agencies and other institutions that have made our dolphin and sea lion rescues possible.

 

In particular, we would like to thank:

The Naval Construction Battalion Center in Gulfport, Mississippi for allowing us to house the dolphins on base

The United States Navy Marine Mammal Program from San Diego, CA for providing use of their pools, life-support system and staff
Ron Hardy and Gulf World Greg Siebenaler and Gulfarium
Sea World Orlando NMFS
USDA The Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute
Gulf Breeze Zoo in Florida Memphis Zoo
The Mirage Dan Schindler
US Foodservice IMATA
The Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks & Aquariums
Memorial of Gulfport, MS
Florida Fish and Wildlife in Miami, FL The Harrison County Sheriff's Department
And the many veterinarians, volunteers and other professionals that are associated with these organizations and agencies.

And special thanks to Dr. Carla Huston with Mississippi State, Constance Ober with the Red Cross, and Dr. Noreene Parker for supplies from the Friends of Animals of the Coastal Empire.

If we have inadvertently neglected to mention anyone, we do apologize for that was certainly not our intention. All of the help we have received and continue to receive has been instrumental in helping us cope and provide care to our animals after this catastrophic event.
