For more than 20 years, MARS has provided a reliable source of information and
action for citizens who find marine life in trouble. There is no other
comparable resource to MARS’ emergency helpline; and when someone comes across a
stranded whale, or injured sea turtle, they have nowhere else to call. The
reality of the situation is that problems like these are not just public safety
issues, but also bring to light the human impact on our marine ecosystems.



Hope SwinimerFounder, Hope for Wildlife Society

Over many years, MARS has successfully pulled together various professional
resources and their expertise in this region in order to increase awareness of
the importance of marine mammals and of the vital role that these animals play
as sentinels of the marine environment. Its positive influence has gone much
beyond the Maritimes provinces, and it has undoubtedly become a very well
recognized and respected organization at the national and international levels.

VOLUNTEER WITH MARS




MARS IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING ITS VOLUNTEERS WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO SAFELY
ENGAGE IN, AND BENEFIT FROM, PARTICIPATING IN A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT RESPONSE
ACTIVITIES.

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS TO VISIT SITES, TO CONFIRM A REPORT OF A DEAD OR DISTRESSED
MARINE ANIMAL AND TO COLLECT DATA (I.E. PHOTOS, MEASUREMENTS AND POSSIBLY
SAMPLES). IF MARS RESPONDERS ARE ON SCENE TO DIRECT RESCUE EFFORTS, THERE MAY BE
ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES TO HELP RESPONSE EFFORTS; HOWEVER, INCIDENTS ARE
UNPREDICTABLE AND WE CANNOT GUARANTEE WHEN OR WHERE THEY WILL HAPPEN.
