New York Marine Rescue Center
The New York Marine Rescue Center is a rescue and rehabilitation organization that promotes marine conservation.
THEIR MISSION
To preserve and protect the marine environment through conservation efforts including rescue, rehabilitation, education and research. They are the primary responders for sick or injured seals, sea turtles, dolphins, porpoises and small toothed whales, and maintain the only marine mammal and sea turtle rehabilitation center in New York State.
OUR PARTNERSHIP
Through its sponsorship with Canon, NYMRC can satellite tag and track sea turtles and seals. The information collected by the tags includes the time, date, latitude, longitude, water temperature and some have capabilities to obtain dive depth data.
As part of Canon’s community outreach initiatives, NYMRC collaborates with a local school district to launch a marine science lecture series for middle school students. This comprehensive program features expert lectures on rescue and rehabilitation efforts of sea turtles and seals, hands-on field training, a private beach cleanup event, and a private seal or turtle release event.
Throughout the series, students will participate in an interactive educational experience, culminating in the creation of a short story about their rescued sea turtle or seal. Canon prints the student book, and all proceeds from the book sales are donated to NYMRC, supporting its ongoing conservation efforts.
