We have exciting news to share!

Atlantic Marine Conservation Society has been selected as a finalist in the 2026 Defender Service Awards.

Beginning July 29 through August 14, vote once a day, per email address, for AMSEAS in the Animal, Wildlife & Marine Mammal Welfare category.

If selected as the winner, AMSEAS will receive a custom Defender 130 response vehicle and $30,000 to help advance our mission of protecting marine mammals and sea turtles.

A new Defender would allow us to respond more reliably to wildlife emergencies, safely transport equipment and personnel, and continue reaching communities across the region. It would become an essential part of our daily work, helping us answer the next call for an animal in need.

Together, we can help ensure our team has the tools needed to continue this important work for years to come.

Every vote counts! Thank you for your support.
