Plans for a Marine Mammal License Plate Have Been Dropped as of June 3, 2011
Proceeds were to go to Maine's Marine Mammal Strandings Program. Details of the program are below, and also on 
Facebook.
Those who have signed up for the plate and who sent their $25 already will be contacted.
Maine's Marine Mammal Strandings Program
Revenue from this plate would have helped support the mission of the Maine Department of Marine Resources (DMR) Marine Mammal Strandings Program, which is dedicated to the conservation of marine mammals through response and rescue of distressed, sick, injured and orphaned marine mammals, research, and educational activities for students and the general public. DMR is federally authorized to respond to live and dead stranded whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals and sea turtles from Kittery to Rockland, Maine. We field these calls through a 24-hour reporting hotline. Many hours are spent on the phone and on the beach by staff and volunteers educating the public about what to do when a marine mammal strands on Maine’s shore. Visit us for pictures and more information on Facebook.
