Don’t Come Ashore! Rescue Resources For Annual Stranding Season

The partnership shores up rescue resources to assist marine mammals as the annual stranding season begins along the Texas Coast

Texas Coast – SeaWorld San Antonio and The Texas Marine Mammal Stranding Network (TMMSN) announced an expanded partnership at a critical time.

January marks the beginning of the annual stranding season which is triggered by winter weather, changing water temperatures and the calving season.

The partnership shores up rescue resources to assist marine mammals as the annual stranding season begins along the Texas Coast.

Over a three-year period, SeaWorld San Antonio is committing approximately $1.1 million in additional funding and resources, including:  

• SeaWorld animal care professionals and veterinarians dedicated to work with TMMSN, and 
• a new state-of-the-art facility at SeaWorld San Antonio to provide 24-hour care for sick and stranded animals that need long term rehabilitation. 
  This facility will ease the burden on TMMSN’s resources when rescued animals are in need of long term care. 

“Protecting our marine mammals and the beautiful natural habitat of the gulf coast is important to the quality of life for all Texans,” said State Senator Larry Taylor (R-Friendswood).
