Panama City marine rescuers break ground on long-awaited facility

PANAMA CITY — The Florida Panhandle Marine Institute (FPMI) broke ground on its new animal rehab facilities in downtown Panama City on Oct. 17. FPMI specializes in the rescue and rehabilitation of marine life, such as dolphins and sea turtles, across the region.

The mission Albrittain said the mission is threefold, with the most obvious part being rescue and rehabilitation. They respond to "strandings," which is when an injured, sick or dead marine animal washes up on the beach. "Second, we want to educate.

She explained that the research contributes to a better understanding of a species' population dynamics, environment,
