About the company
Channel Islands Marine & Wildlife Institute (CIMWI) is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Goleta, California, that operates as a volunteer-based entity serving the Central Coast region of Southern California. The organization provides critical marine mammal response and rehabilitation services across a 155-mile coastline spanning Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties. Through federal grant awards, CIMWI receives funding to maintain essential operational capabilities and support the two core paid staff positions that enable the organization to function effectively while coordinating numerous volunteers and interns in its mission to protect marine life.
CIMWI has demonstrated consistent federal grant funding from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) through the Marine Mammal Data Program (CFDA 11.439), with documented prime grant awards dating back to at least October 2021. The most recent NOAA Project Grant of $133,122 awarded in September 2025 supports the salaries of the Managing Director and Stranding Operations & Animal Care Manager for one year, enabling CIMWI to maintain high-volume response capabilities and data collection activities. Beyond direct NOAA funding, CIMWI has received federal sub-grant awards through the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation as the prime grantee. These sub-awards have funded critical infrastructure and operational improvements, including equipment replacement and restocking supplies to address a documented 65 percent increase in stranding events in 2024, enhancement of animal handling and veterinary medical capabilities, expansion of electrical and water supply infrastructure, and staffing resources necessary to deliver expanded marine mammal recovery and rehabilitation services. The organization's work directly supports the Marine Mammal Health and Stranding Response Program and contributes valuable data and research to the broader marine mammal conservation and scientific community.
