If you’re doing a little Prime Day shopping, there's still time to add an extra something to the cart for the dolphins. 🐬 🛒

🧽🥽 These are just a few of the things we actually use behind the scenes at TMMSN - from stranding response and rehabilitation to the everyday supplies that keep our work going.

With stranding season just around the corner, it’s a great time to stock up! Our Amazon Wishlist has lots of supplies, big and small, and every little bit helps us to be ready to respond. 💙

🛒 Shop our Amazon wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/OEWYYBD0RF84?ref_=wl_share

Thank you for helping us keep the dolphins’ supply closet stocked! 😉

Whales on Wheels (TMMSN's traveling educational program) hit the road yesterday, migrating along the coast to bring marine mammal lessons and conservation themed activities to a group of 5th grade naturalist students at Fulton Learning Center. Thank you again for inviting us, it was our pleasure to meet all these future conservation scientists and see your excitement!

Time for a 👻 ghost story... Something haunting is lurking in this image. Under the fishing pier this lost and abandoned net can entangle or entrap wildlife. Help make spooky season a little less scary for wildlife. You can help prevent entanglements by properly disposing of ghost gear when you find it.

When marine mammal entanglements occur, be sure to report them in real time, with pictures or videos if they can be obtained safely. Here in Texas, those reports should be made to the Texas Marine Mammal Stranding Network: 1-800-9MAMMAL (1-800-962-6625).

We had some really close guesses in the comments from our earlier post from last weekends Adopt a Beach and Nurdle Patrol post. The grand total was 1,493 nurdles collected!!!

However, where this is an impressive number, there are still lots more in the environment. If you go out nurdling be sure to enter your survey count to the nurdle patrol app to help better understand the extent of this worldwide pollution problem.
