Dino Story
CMA’s Rescue Team received a call from a boat captain reporting a boat strike in Clearwater Pass. Upon investigation, the team came across Mosely who was found struggling to swim and brought to CMA for further observations. Boat strikes can lead to buoyancy issues and possible spine injuries in marine life like Mosasaurs, manatees, and sea turtles.
