Thanks to YOU, we have resumed construction of our new marine animal hospital. Last week, we applied a sealer to the concrete floor of the sea turtle ward in order to maintain a clean and sanitary hospital environment. This week we'll be working on plumbing and painting. Visit our website for the latest information.
We need your help to continue building our hospital, caring for animals, advancing science, and teaching children. Please, donate now.
