rescues and rehabilitates marine mammals that strand along the Texas Coast,
providing food, medical treatment and 24-hour-a-day observation. Costs for this
care can reach an average of $400 a day. Dolphins and whales are the most common
marine mammals found off the Texas Coast. The Network has responded to a variety
of strandings ranging from the Atlantic bottlenose dolphin to the rarely seen
pygmy killer whale. TMMSN has developed a worldwide reputation for its ability
to rescue, care for and release live-stranded marine mammals. The program is
used as a model for developing networks in other countries.
