Merr Institute

MERR Institute, Inc. is a non-profit organization based in Lewes, DE, dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and conservation of marine mammals and sea turtles. They provide 24/7 rescue and care for animals in need, conduct research on deceased animals to gather valuable information about species and ocean health, and share this knowledge with various entities and researchers in the marine conservation field. MERR also conducts educational programs throughout the state to raise awareness about marine mammal and sea turtle ecology and the importance of conservation.

Additionally, MERR encourages public participation in their efforts through initiatives like the Marine Debris Tracker app, where individuals can help by picking up refuse and tracking it. They also offer a range of merchandise, including T-shirts, sweatshirts, and tank tops, with a portion of the proceeds going directly towards supporting marine mammal and sea turtle response in Delaware. MERR Institute believes that education is crucial in the conservation of these precious marine species.
