The AMMPA is the international accrediting body for marine parks, aquariums, zoos and research facilities. Alliance-accredited institutions are the gold standard in marine mammal care. With an extensive body of knowledge and experience, animal experts at Alliance-accredited facilities dedicate their lives to the well-being of the animals in their care, and to the rescue and rehabilitation of marine animals such as sea lions, dolphins, manatees, and sea turtles. Member institutions reach millions of guests each year, creating extraordinary connections to the natural world that inspire people to take action for our oceans. Accredited members of the Alliance meet or exceed rigorous Standards & Guidelines covering a dozen different areas such as animal husbandry, animal training, water and environmental quality, education, scientific research, and breeding.
