The people steering
EAAM.
EAAM members lead the field in aquatic-mammal care and conservation, held to EAAM-approved standards that exceed legal requirements and are reviewed continuously. Since 2010, a formal accreditation process, with independent inspection by qualified professionals every five years, has kept every member park to that standard.
