The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, under the Department of the Interior’s John H. Prescott Marine Mammal Rescue Assistance Grant Program, offers financial aid to support marine mammal stranding participants. This grant is for comprehensive response activities including retrieval, care, treatment, rehabilitation, and release of stranded marine mammals, alongside related scientific research. Funding prioritizes assistance for wild populations managed by the Department of the Interior, specifically manatees, sea otters, walruses, and polar bears. Preference will be given to facilities demonstrating an established history in rescuing or rehabilitating these sick and stranded species within U.S. waters. Successful applications will significantly support these vital conservation efforts.
