Above Ground Swimming Pools

Pool - Above Ground Above ground pools are an integral part of a stranding organization’s required equipment. Some rescues of marine mammals require stranding organizations to erect temporary pools to house the animals for critical care treatment until they can be released or moved to MMC’s natural sea pen or lagoon for rehabilitation. Pools are also needed to house animals at remote release sites until the animal is stabilized and/or the requisite release conditions are met. The pools must be constructed of sturdy material and have minimum diameter of 18 feet.
