Maintaining the health of the Navy's marine mammals is central to the Navy Marine Mammal Program's mission and focus. A full-time staff of veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and biologists ensures that necessary care and management processes are in place to provide for all the health needs of the animals. A veterinarian and a veterinary technician are on call around the clock, 7 days a week. The NMMP is in strict compliance with all statutory requirements, DoD requirements, and federal laws regarding the proper care of the animals.
A veterinarian gives a sea lion a checkup. The primary focus of the health care program is to keep the marine mammals healthy and fit for duty. Cutting-edge marine mammal health care techniques and technologies are actively evaluated and developed. Research to support the health of the animals incorporates fields such as immunology, virology, epidemiology, microbiology, toxicology, and vaccination development. In this regard, the Navy continues its time-honored tradition of being an important National resource for the study of marine mammal nutrition, medicine, physiology, and ecology.
The NMMP is accredited by the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care International (AAALAC). AAALAC is a nonprofit non-regulatory organization that promotes high standards of animal care and use, improves laboratory animal well-being, and enhances life sciences research through accreditation. It is a non-governmental independent organization that monitors and ensures strict animal care standards throughout the world. Membership is voluntary so it shows a level of care that is exceptional and over and above what is required by law. It includes a triennial site visit and a comprehensive review of all procedures and performance for the care and handing of the animals. The 2002 re-accreditation letter to the NMMP noted: "The Council commends you and your staff for providing and maintaining an excellent program of laboratory animal care and use."

    (Tursiops melaena) The Bottlenosed Dolphin is perhaps the most familiar of the sea mammals. Their gentle nature has endeared them in our hearts. These highly social animals have actually been known to rescue humans from danger. They are intelligent creatures with a brain that is much larger than ours. Atlantic Spotted Dolphin
    (Stenella frontalis) The Atlantic Spotted Dolphin looks very similar to the bottlenosed dolphin except for the noticeable body spots. They are generally somewhat smaller than their cousins. As with all dolphins they travel in close family groups called pods. Pilot Whale
    (Globicephala melaena) The Pilot Whale is a small member of the whale family, averaging about 10 feet in length. They are perhaps better known for the mass strandings in which entire pods of these animals will beach themselves in an apparent attempt at suicide. This behavior has yet to be explained.

    Introduction to Marine Mammals
    Mammals are a special group of animals, with a combination of characteristics that separate them from all others: mammals are warm-blooded, have hair or fur, breathe air through lungs, bear live young, and nurse young with milk produced by mammary glands. Marine mammals have the same characteristics as all other mammals, but they have adapted or adjusted to life in the ocean. To keep warm in the ocean, most of them depend more upon a thick layer of blubber or fat than on thick fur. They have streamlined bodies to help them swim faster. They can stay under water for a long time, but must come to the surface to breathe. To be able to stay under water for long periods, they store extra oxygen in their muscles and blood. They also have more blood than land mammals in proportion to their body sizes, can direct their blood flow to only their vital organs (such as their heart and lungs), and can slow their heartbeat down so they are using less oxygen in a dive. All marine mammals are protected in the United States by the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972. There are also international laws and treaties that protect marine mammals. Unfortunately, there are still threats to marine mammal populations, such as illegal hunting, pollution, and habitat loss. Learn more about these issues and tell others, including lawmakers, how you feel about them. Together, we can solve or prevent many of the problems our ocean friends face.

    Marine mammal links
    This page contains a number of links to marine mammal related pages and some general biology sites. It is by no means a comprehensive listing. Others have already tried to compile complete lists of links and there is no reason to duplicate that effort here. The list has been alphabetized. A number of non-marine mammal links are provided on the Other Links page This list is intended to present a wide variety of information sources. On this list you'll find scientific information, educational material, information about organizations as well as personal web sites with marine mammal, wildlife and conservation related material. The list contains sites of both supporters and opponents of whaling, captive display, dolphin assisted therapy, dolphin swims and whale watching. Some sites present documented information, other present personal opinions, propaganda or rhetoric. I'll leave it up to you to decide which is which. You can apply Carl Sagan's Baloney Detection Kit to help you make the distinction. See chapter 12: "
