For over four decades, Bob Schoelkopf has helped some of the most vulnerable animals to wash up on New Jersey's shores.
"I always said if you could work on a Marine, you could work on a seal," said Bob Schoelkopf.
Schoelkopf, 76, followed them to the Jersey Shore. But he would soon find himself entangled in the world of marine mammal rescue, which would become his life's work. He founded the Marine Mammal Stranding Center in Atlantic City in 1978 and moved to Brigantine in 1983 with the support of lifeguards in the community. There, they rescued more than 5,000 seals, turtles, whales, and dolphins over the next 45 years.
"Bob is probably one of the most caring people in the world for animals," she said. "He loves animals and they respond very well to him."
