<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>On Friday, October 23 at </span></font>7 pm the Cape Cod Museum of
Natural History will present a special program on The National Marine Life
Center’s new marine animal hospital with Don Lewis. This program is free
to the public.<br>
.<br>
Known as “the turtle guy,” Mr. Lewis, who serves as the Chief
Operating Officer of the National Marine Life Center, will speak on the
exciting developments of the marine animal hospital as it prepares this fall to
accept stranded sea turtles, and ultimately be the only regional facility to
receive seals, porpoises, dolphins and small whales. Rescued by first
responders, marine animals come to NMLC for treatment, rehabilitation and
release back into the wild.<br>

<br>
</span></i>Now under construction the new 15,000-square foot, 100,000-gallon
marine animal hospital will provide immediate and critical medical help for
stranded marine animals on Cape Cod, one of the most active stranding hot spots
in the world.<br>
