Efforts to protect and to learn more about the whales that inhabit Florida's coastal waters have taken a giant leap forward
now that the new 'Protect Florida Whales' specialty license plate is available. Funds from sales of the new 'Whale' plate,
which costs $25, will be administered by HARBOR BRANCH Oceanographic Institution and will be used for everything from collecting and analyzing data on
Florida's whales to responding to and providing care and rehabilitation for whales that strand themselves on Florida beaches.
This includes work now underway to build the world's first marine mammal teaching hospital and rehabilitation center at
HARBOR BRANCH's Ft. Pierce, Florida campus. This multi-million-dollar teaching facility will offer veterinary education, provide
care for injured or diseased whales, and act as an incubator for marine mammal research.
