Clearwater Marine Aquarium

The Clearwater Marine Aquarium would like YOU to help them celebrate 50 years!  Bring the extended family or gather your friends!

Their unique aquarium will create a fun family outing for young and not-so-young!

Clearwater Marine Aquarium staff and volunteers work each day to rescue marine life and provide the most advanced and effective care to maximize the opportunity to return sick or injured animals to their homes. 

Their rescue team responds to sick, injured, and deceased marine animals reported along the west coast of Florida in the Pinellas, Hillsborough, Hernando, Pasco, Citrus, and Levy counties. 

Once an animal arrives at the hospital, a team of experienced CMA staff biologists, veterinarians, and volunteers create a rehabilitation plan specifically developed based on its injury or illness, with the goal of returning it to the wild. They also give every animal a name, as they have personalities just like we do. It is often hard to say goodbye to their new friends when they are successfully rehabbed; however, they feel so happy to be able to return them to their homes.
