The Marine Mammal Center

The Marine Mammal Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing marine mammals, like seals and sea lions, along the California coast. Founded in 1975, it focuses on the health of these animals and their ocean environment through research and education. The center also provides a vital hospital for injured or sick marine mammals and engages the public with programs to increase awareness about marine conservation. By caring for these animals, the center not only supports wildlife but also promotes a healthier marine ecosystem overall.
