Project Title: Expanding Temporary Capacity at The Florida Aquarium's Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Center
Project Manager: Ashley Riese
Organization: The Florida Aquarium (Non-Profit Organization)
Grant Amount: $35,995.00
Completion Date:
Summary: The Florida Aquarium will purchase supplies and equipment to build nine Mobile Aquatic Sea Turtle Holding (MASH) units at its Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Center. This project will allow the Center to increase its maximum capacity during times of high need, while maintaining lower operating costs for the remainder of the year. The MASH units can be installed relatively quickly to allow the Center the flexibility to respond to natural disasters and other events, which create an unexpected and urgent need for holding space. It will also allow The Florida Aquarium to assist other rehabilitation facilities that need temporary holding space for their animals.
