In this interview I had the pleasure of speaking with Dani, Emily and Michaela from the Marine Mammal Rescue Division of the International Fund for Animal Welfare otherwise known as IFAW. It was a true pleasure to sit down with the team and discuss all of the great work they do every day, along with some of the challenges they face in an ever changing physical and political environment.  

The interview that you're hearing now is just some of the total interview that was completed in which we did a full video tour of the entire facility, which was incredible! If you'd like to see the full video interview CLICK HERE and it will take you to my Dempsey Clarke YouTube page where I posted this video I will be posting all future cape and Islands podcast videos there because that page already has a good following and gets pretty good traction and visibility.

Here are some details from the MMR website:  "Embracing the highest tenets of animal welfare and robust science for more than 27 years, we have evolved into a world-recognised leader in stranding response. Based on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, we see more frequent mass strandings of dolphins here than anywhere else in the world. These events are not only a unique opportunity to rescue and provide cutting-edge veterinary care to these individual animals, but also drive constant innovation and groundbreaking research that is shared with collaborators around the world."

Thank you so much to Dani, Emily, Michaela and the whole Marine Mammals Rescue Division for your time and showcasing your incredible facility and discussing the important work you do for our community and local wildlife!
