This year OARRA’s
"Buoy Truly Runneth Over"
Overflowing with rescues, responses, scientific discoveries, new students entering marine science, expanded at-sea surveys, and the trust of our coastal communities, 2025 was a year of extraordinary growth and impact.
Because of supporters like you, we turned every call, every sample, every necropsy, every survey, and every data point into something meaningful:
Knowledge that protects both marine mammals and human health.
Your year-end gift helps us:
Broaden our Stranding Response & Necropsy Program
Expand At-Sea Surveys that monitor ocean change in real time
Grow Education & Workforce Development for underrepresented students
Ensure that every animal’s life contributes to understanding.
No contribution is too small — every gift allows us to transform each animal’s loss into understanding, revealing changes in the ocean that directly affect human health.
