Ways to Help CMA
Clearwater Marine Aquarium is first and foremost a marine life hospital. During these challenging times, we are relying on our community of supporters more than ever. There are a variety of ways that you can support CMA and help us continue our mission.
Help Manatees
We are also currently seeking funds for our new manatee rehabilitation center at Fred Howard Park and continued manatee rescue and conservation efforts in response to the recent red tide crisis in Tampa Bay and an ongoing Unusual Mortality Event on Florida’s east coast. Manatees are in critical need and we need your support to help them.
Donate to Our Cause
Support our mission by donating to our cause! Choose between a monthly or one-time donation and help us continue to help our residents and rehabilitating animals. Every dollar donated goes toward animal care, food, and medicine. Our animals depend on you for a second chance at life.

Gift Shop
While we are a working marine animal hospital, we also conduct a lot of research on marine life in the wild! When purchasing an item from our Marine Life Rescue Project store, you are supporting our pivotal research efforts to learn more about wild dolphins, manatees, sea turtles and right whales. If you’re looking for resident plushes, t-shirts and more, our CMA Gift Shop is a great place to look! All items purchased from our CMA Gift Shop help with the care of our rescued and resident animals.
