Seabird Station Expands Its Capabilities With Boat

The Seabird Station recently took delivery of a newly restored work boat. The staff and owners of T-n-T Custom Marine of North Miami volunteered their time and resources to restore it to working order. This was made possible by the donation of a new outboard engine by Mercury Marine.

This boat is now used by the Seabird Station to search for and rescue injured wildlife, primarily around the north end of Biscayne Bay. We are also using it to monitor nearby pelican rookeries. In the last two weeks it has been used extensively as a filming platform by a visiting film crew from Japanese Public Broadcasting.

Our heartfelt thanks go out to T-n-T Curtom Marine and Mercury Marine. Without their support this would not have been possible.
