Review for New York Marine Rescue Center, Riverhead, NY, USA
They do great work but have a bit of a scam mentality when looking for "volunteers". They openly solicite for volunters for the foundation, and are very friendly right up until they get their orientation fee. Then it's: volunteer for the aquarium, and maybe after a year there, they might, emphasis "might" ask you to join the team at the foundation. Before they get their fee, they make it seem like it's a sure thing that you can volunteer at the foundation after doing your time at the aquarium. After they get their fee, they don't want to know you.

They do a very very fine job at the difficult task of rescue and rehabilitation.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Change the way they solicite for volunteers. It turns off a lot of what would be otherwise very enthusiastic supporters. It's a shame since they do such fantastic work.
