Over the past year, we have submitted numerous general requests to NOAA and USDA for communications between veterinary staff and the agencies about treatments, conditions, and actions at the Miami Seaquarium. This is the most recent and one we did not expect. All of the emails and accompanying images of text conversations have been cleared for public use by NOAA’s Office of the Chief Information Officer. Click on each image to enlarge.

THE TEXT IMAGES ARE ATTACHMENTS SENT TO NOAA WITH THE EMAIL. WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO READ THE EMAIL TEXT FIRST SO THAT THE TEXT MESSAGES CAN BE UNDERSTOOD IN CONTEXT.
