Hawai'i Marine Animal Response (HMAR) is the largest nonprofit organization in Hawai'i dedicated to the conservation, education, and rescue of marine protected species. Their mission is to preserve and recover Hawai'i's marine animals, including Hawaiian monk seals, sea turtles, dolphins, whales, and seabirds, as well as the ocean ecosystem they inhabit. Through outreach, field response, interventions, rescue operations, and stranding support, HMAR works towards achieving a sustainable harmony between humans and marine protected animals.
HMAR focuses on the marine protected species that are most likely to be encountered and affected by human activities, addressing both the causes and effects of key threats to these animals. They offer various ways for individuals to get involved, such as donating, purchasing needed supplies, volunteering, interning, or even adopting a Hawaiian monk seal. By reporting sightings of marine protected animals or animals in need of help, the public can also contribute to HMAR's efforts in protecting Hawai'i's marine animals and the shared ocean ecosystem.
