Our patients need us, and we need you!
Please help CIMWI continue to care for each individual animal as well as advance our research and education initiatives to have greater impact on the health and well-being of these animals and the preservation of marine biodiversity.
Marine mammals are sentinels of ocean health and they are struggling to survive.
CIMWI’s patients are the lucky ones… they are the sick, injured, malnourished, and entangled marine mammals that make it to shore. These are the animals CIMWI can rescue and give a second chance at life and the opportunity to thrive back in the wild.
Please help CIMWI save lives and donate today!
