Marine Mammal Stranding Center — Local services in Brigantine

Upon arrival we were greeted at the door by a female staff member (who happened to be part founder/owner of the center) & welcomed us inside the museum area where we watched a video about the operation of the Stranding Center. This group receives no funding from the State of NJ nor any monies from the Municipalities who rely on & contact the Ctr to retrieve mammals stranded on their Beaches or shorelines (1800 miles of it). They depend strictly on donations from visitors or those who are lovers of the mammals of our waters. Great work is done here by the founders/volunteers who rescue these creatures in their time of need from feeding & caring for them during their rehabilitation phases...an ICU & Pool House (similar to Physical Therapy) until their time of release back into the water.

At least one of the dolphins was still moving just a few minutes before you arrived.....update: Your director gave a statement that you get 100K a year to protect the marine animals of Sandy Hook yet it took you 2 1/2 hrs to get there? You need to employ people locally who are on call to get there quickly or some facility closer needs to get...
