The Marine Animal Response Society (MARS) is a Canadian conservation organization and registered charity dedicated to protecting marine life, advancing ocean health, and empowering communities to make a difference. Our small and mighty team is the front line of marine animal response in the Maritime Provinces, answering calls throughout the region via the MARS Hotline 365 days a year. Every call we answer, and every response we deploy, is rooted in conservation, recovery, and stewardship of marine animals and ocean ecosystems. Every day, our expert team and network of volunteers and partners across Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island stand ready to help marine animals in need — from stranded whales to injured seals and entangled sharks. When animals can’t be saved, we learn from them, uncovering vital clues about the health of our ocean and the animals that call it home. Alongside our on-the-ground work, we conduct vital research, join forces with partners near and far, and speak up for conservation — working every day toward a future where marine animals, people, and the ocean can thrive together. At the heart of our work is a deep commitment to: science-based conservation and the protection and recovery of Canada’s natural marine heritage; the welfare and respectful handling of marine animals; timely, effective and appropriate response that prioritizes the safety of our responders and the public; working together with local communities — including Indigenous and coastal partners — to share knowledge, learn from one another, and strengthen ocean stewardship.

The International Consciousness Research Laboratories (ICRL) was established in 1996 to carry on the work of the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) laboratory, which for nearly three decades investigated the role that consciousness plays in the structure and function of the universe. The results of that research were profound—that conscious intention can influence so called "objective" systems—and provides a scientific basis for rethinking our nature and the role we play in reality. It is a topic of skyrocketing interest today due to a variety of factors, from our attempts to comprehend the implications of Quantum Mechanics to the attention that has been rising from popular media, such as Dan Brown's recent book, "Secret of Secrets". ICRL has three primary mission: continuing the research of PEAR, providing educational resources to people of all backgrounds, and exploring ways in which PEAR's research findings can make real, tangible improvements in people's lives and society in general. We're a small, volunteer-driven organization that offers a combination of both online and in-person opportunities, and collaborates with like-minded organizations around the world to provide a solid scientific basis upon which we can appreciate the nature of consciousness and the interconnectedness of the whole of reality.
