Do you share a love and concern for
our local marine mammals? If so, please consider supporting the Whatcom Marine Mammal Stranding Network.
We are a 501 (c) (3) state
and federal non-profit organization. All donations are tax
deductible and your financial assistance helps
defray the costs incurred when we respond to distressed and stranded
marine mammals here in Whatcom County.
The money received from your
generous donations is used for:
Rescue efforts for stranded seal
pups (Click
here to read the story of Chitenango, a stranded seal pup
that was rescued by WMMSN
from Lummi Island in 2009)
Animal carriers & other expenses incurred from transporting
stranded pups to wildlife rehabilitation facilities
Purchase of supplies needed by
our volunteer responders such as gloves, signs, caution tape,
etc.
Purchase of equipment needed for
stranding responses such as wildlife tagging tools, wildlife tags,
ropes, fuel for boats, scientific collection tools, and more
Volunteer training
Education
Community outreach
With your donation of $25 you will
receive one of our WMMSN T-shirts. Donations of $40 will get you 2
T-shirts and donations higher than this, in increments of $15, will get
you additional T-shirts for the whole family, or friends and relatives!
These
WMMSN T-shirts are made from 100% organic cotton in light
blue. They are pre-shrunk but sizes do run a bit
small. They feature a Walking Whales design on the front
with the Whatcom Marine Mammal Stranding Network logo on the
back.
