You're a Marine Rescue Volunteer

The early morning sun rises over the coastline as gentle waves reach the shore. Rescue boats are fueled, medical kits are prepared, and the radio crackles with weather updates. Sea turtles, dolphins, seals, whales, and countless other marine animals depend on people willing to protect them.

You are a volunteer at a marine rescue center dedicated to saving injured and stranded marine wildlife. Every rescue is different. Some animals need urgent medical treatment, some must be carefully transported back to the ocean, and others require weeks of rehabilitation before they can return to the wild.

🌊 Your Marine Rescue Center Includes

• Animal Rescue Hospital • Rehabilitation Pools • Rescue Boats • Veterinary Clinic • Quarantine Area • Research Laboratory • Food Preparation Room • Volunteer Center • Equipment Storage • Visitor Education Center

🐬 Animals You May Rescue

• Dolphins • Sea Turtles • Seals • Sea Lions • Whales • Penguins • Seabirds • Manatees • Sharks • Rays

⭐ Your Responsibilities

• Rescue injured animals • Assist veterinarians • Feed and care for patients • Clean rehabilitation habitats • Release recovered animals • Educate visitors • Join rescue missions • Improve the rescue center

Every rescue tells a different story. Some animals recover quickly, while others require patience, teamwork, and months of dedicated care before they can safely return to the ocean.

Today is the beginning of your first volunteer shift. Your team has just received an emergency call about an injured sea turtle washed onto a nearby beach, while a rescued dolphin is almost ready to return to the wild.

What will you do first? Meet your team, prepare the rescue boat, help the veterinarians, care for the recovering animals, or respond to the emergency rescue?
