CMA provides a home for many animals rescued and rehabilitated by our stranding response team, which is one of the nation's most successful. Although many of these injured or sick animals are subsequently released, some have become permanent CMA residents due to the extent of their injuries or permanent disabilities. Some CMA's resident animals include Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, several species of sea turtle, North American river otters, brown pelicans, raccoons, opossums, and others.
