Clearwater Marine Aquarium

This year proudly marks Clearwater Marine Aquarium’s 50th Anniversary! For 50 years, CMA has helped to make a difference in the local marine ecosystems and the conservation and research efforts of species all over the world.

Their story began in 1972 with a group of volunteers passionate about marine life who wanted to help educate the local community. Public support throughout the years has made expansion possible which allows CMA to continue the mission; to preserve the environment while inspiring the human spirit through leadership in the rescue, rehabilitation and release of marine life; environmental education; research; and conservation.

Sunset Sam, the first dolphin to survive a stranding in Florida, became their first wellknown rescued resident bottlenose dolphin in 1984. While assisting in rescues and rehabilitation of marine life and providing a forever home for those who need more care, their walls have housed many inspiring stores. Winter became a resident of CMA in 2006 and forever changed the impact they would have on marine conservation. This year also reflected the first time Winter’s story inspired children and wounded soldiers, in essence, inspiring humanity.

Hope was rescued on December 11, 2010, and the rest is history. Dolphin Tale and Dolphin Tale 2 brought Winter and Hope’s stories to the big screen and to people around the world. Their stories of resilience continue to inspire people worldwide and educate people on the importance of ocean and marine life conservation.

Sadly, they lost Winter in late 2021, but her story changed CMA and the world forever. With a brand new 1.5-million-gallon dolphin habitat they hope to carry on Winter’s legacy providing a forever home to other injured marine life in need of care.

Visit the brand-new dolphin habitat at CMA.

Bottlenose dolphins can be seen in the brand-new Window of Wonder.
