Since 1992, the Marine Mammal Care Center (MMCC) has rescued and rehabilitated nearly 10,000 marine mammals along over 70 miles of Los Angeles County coastline. Their facility in San Pedro is dedicated to providing critical care for these animals, making MMCC one of the leading organizations in marine mammal rescue in the country. Their work encompasses all of LA County, ensuring that every marine mammal in need along the coastline receives the support it requires.
The San Pedro facility focuses on addressing the needs of various marine mammal species that wash ashore due to injury, illness, or environmental factors. The team works tirelessly to ensure each animal receives the necessary medical attention and rehabilitation to return to the wild.
The staff members possess the unique skills, talent, and passion required to care for these remarkable creatures. They respond to a wide range of cases, from seals and sea lions to dolphins, ensuring that every animal in distress receives the appropriate support.
In addition to rescuing and rehabilitating marine mammals, their team also educates the public about the importance of marine conservation and how everyone can help protect these vulnerable species. Whether through relocation efforts or providing specialized medical care, their mission is to restore the health of marine mammals and ensure their survival along the entire LA County coastline.
