The Coastal Bend is welcoming a new state of the art facility to bolster their wildlife rescue rehab center.
The Texas State Aquarium has announced they will be starting construction this month for a new wildlife rehabilitation center.
The new 20,000 square foot building will sit next to the aquarium.
It will house state-of-the-art veterinary medical equipment, an interpretive center and multimedia theater to help share their Wildlife Rescue story.
The project costs $15 million and funds were finally reached thanks to contributions from the Dobson Family of Foundations and the Port of Corpus Christi.
The Aquarium’s goal is to increase capacity for wildlife rescue and response, facilitate learning for veterinary medical students and veterinary technologists, and foster a better understanding for the public regarding what each of us can do to help protect wildlife.
Upon completion of the facility, the public will have access to witness the treatment and rehabilitation of thousands of birds, marine mammals, and sea turtles.
