Hawai'i Marine Animal Response

Hawai’i Marine Animal Response (HMAR) is the largest Hawai’i-based nonprofit marine species conservation, education, field support, rescue and stranding response organization.

Our mission is to undertake substantial actions that result in the preservation, recovery and stewardship of Hawai’i’s marine protected species and the ocean ecosystem we share. Thousands of times each year, our outreach, field response, interventions, rescue and stranding support activities help us move towards our vision of Hawai’i’s ocean ecosystem shared in sustainable harmony by humans and marine protected animals such as Hawaiian monk seals, sea turtles, dolphins, whales and seabirds.
