The Port of Corpus Christi Center for Wildlife Rescue at the Texas State Aquarium is one of the largest coastal wildlife rescue facilities in the nation, purpose-built to care for marine mammals, sea turtles, and other protected species. The facility includes specialized treatment areas, an emergency operations center, and advanced diagnostic tools that support precise medical treatment. Over 5,000 rehabilitated animals have been released since the wildlife rescue program’s start in 1995.
