About the company
The Institute For Marine Mammal Studies. Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Gulfport, Mississippi, operates as a federal grant recipient delivering marine mammal and sea turtle rehabilitation, research, and education services to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and other environmental agencies. The organization acts primarily as a grant recipient (64% of recent awards) with supplementary sub-grant work (36%) routed through state environmental agencies and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
IMMS's federal footprint concentrates heavily with NOAA, which accounts for seven of eleven recent awards and represents the dominant customer agency. The Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency round out a four-agency customer set that collectively covers 100% of recent activity. The organization has obligated $23.6 million across all federal sources in its recent award history, with work spanning from 2005 through the present.
The organization's primary current award is a $3.0 million NOAA Project Grant under the Congressionally Identified Awards and Projects program (CFDA 11.469) running through June 30, 2030. This grant funds three integrated components: enhancement and equipping of IMMS's marine mammal and sea turtle hospital facility (including architectural design, construction, and equipment procurement conducted under federal procurement standards); hiring and training of facility operations staff; and development of education and outreach initiatives including digital media content, educational exhibits, summer camp presentations, and social media materials. The grant also supports research and clinical work comprising veterinary-led rehabilitation observation and treatment, diagnostic testing, and necropsy services on deceased animals recovered by institute staff to identify health issues and document ecosystem conditions.
IMMS concurrently operates under three sub-grant arrangements: surveys and documentation of stranded sea turtles on Deer Island and Cat Island beaches under the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation; engineering, design, permitting, and construction of classrooms and dormitories through the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality; and eco-tourism and environmental education programming through the same state agency. A disaster recovery grant from Mississippi Emergency Management Agency rounds out the sub-grant portfolio. Activity has accelerated sharply in 2025, with five awards placed in that year alone after multi-year gaps in the source record.
