The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster
Presents A Special Program on
The National Marine Life Center's
New Marine Animal Hospital
  
Friday, October 23, 2009   7 pm
 
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 23, 2009
 

On Friday, October 23 at 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.
.
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.

As noted on its web site, The National Marine Life Center in Buzzards Bay
originated in 1995 as an independent, non-profit marine animal hospital,
science, and education center dedicated to rehabilitation and release, and
to advancing scientific knowledge and education in marine wildlife health
and conservation.

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.

For further information, please contact the Cape Cod Museum of Natural
History,
