Founded in 1972 as a sanctuary for local marine wildlife, the Clearwater (Fla.) Marine Aquarium has rescued, rehabilitated and – whenever possible – released more than 1,500 animals through the years.
A 13,000-sq.-ft. expansion project currently underway will permit CMA to dramatically enhance its ability to fulfill its core mission.
