Description:The goal of this document is to set MINIMUM facility, husbandry, and veterinary standards for rehabilitating marine mammals (cetaceans and pinnipeds, excluding walrus) under the jurisdiction of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) in the United States. Likewise some of the standards put forth in this document are based on the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service’s Animal Welfare Act regulations which define minimum standards for permanent managed care marine mammals. However, there are differences between the two documents in that NMFS Rehabilitation Standards were developed for temporary care of ill or injured marine mammals.
