IMMERSE YOURSELF
INTO THE WORLD OF MARINE LIFE RESCUE
HOPETEMBER
Join us for Hopetember at Clearwater Marine Aquarium as we show appreciation for our Tampa Bay neighbors and the important people who provide hope to their communities! Each weekend throughout the month of September we will be celebrating a different group of people who bring Hope through their service or generosity.
We are a unique organization specializing in the rescue, rehabilitation and release of sick or injured marine animals. The animals that come through our doors arrive because they are suffering from an illness or severe injury. Many of our animals are found by local residents, fishermen, park rangers or even visitors to the area.
Clearwater Marine Aquarium (CMA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit working marine rescue center dedicated to inspiring the human spirit through leadership in education, research, rescue, rehabilitation and release. CMA is home to rescued dolphins, sea turtles, river otters, stingrays, nurse sharks and more. One of our world-famous residents is Winter the Dolphin. Winter’s story has inspired millions around the world in the major motion picture, Dolphin Tale, and the sequel, Dolphin Tale 2.
