Atlantic Marine Conservation Society

Atlantic Marine Conservation Society (AMSEAS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to marine conservation headquartered in Long Island, New York. AMSEAS employs 5 to 9 dedicated individuals who work tirelessly to achieve their mission. The organization's commitment to marine conservation is evident in its multifaceted approach, encompassing education, research, and emergency response. AMSEAS plays a crucial role in the Northeast region as the lead organization for responding to strandings of large whales, porpoises, dolphins, and sea turtles. Their research projects delve into various aspects of the marine environment, providing valuable insights into the health and well-being of these creatures. Furthermore, AMSEAS actively engages the public through educational programs that span Long Island and extend into New York City, fostering awareness and understanding of marine conservation issues. A key aspect of AMSEAS's work is its partnership with other organizations within the stranding network, forming the Specially Trained Animal Response Team (START). This collaborative effort enhances their ability to respond effectively to marine mammal and sea turtle emergencies. AMSEAS actively collaborates with federal, state, and local partners, working together to address the pressing challenges facing marine life.
