May 12, 2009 - Cutter released among his own kind into the beautiful azure waters of the Florida Keys
Cutter, the young Atlantic spotted dolphin (Stenella frontalis) that spent nearly three months in rehabilitation with MMC, was released off Key West on Tuesday May 12, 2009. This dolphin was rescued and brought to MMC on February 14, 2009. To read Cutter's story, click here.
Things to do with MMC:
SUPPORT Marine Mammal Conservancy through Pod Partners Program
Our work is made possible through support from organizations and individuals like YOU.
MMC's greatest present need is assistance with our mortgage commitment for MMC's rehab property. We ask you to participate in our Pod Partners Program, a monthly contribution campaign we are lauching to satisfy this $450,000 debt by March 2012.
In this very difficult economic time, MMC's ability to obtain donations and grants is extremely challenging. For this reason, we are counting on our friends and volunteers—the heart of MMC—to help in this important endeavor.
With your monthly $1, $5, $10 or $25 paypal contribution or check, we will be able to significantly reduce the principal of our mortgage by its maturity date in March 2012. By helping us to meet this monthly obligation, you enable MMC to keep our focus on care of the whales, dolphins and other marine mammals in need of our help—by continuing to respond when animals strand and by improving our facility in anticipation of their needs.
Please mail checks payable to “MMC Mortgage Fund” to:
Marine Mammal Conservancy Mortgage Fund,
Post Office Box 1625,
Key Largo, Florida 33037
