Saving California’s marine wildlife.
The MISSION of the Pacific Marine Mammal Center is to rescue, rehabilitate, and release marine mammals back into the wild, inspiring ocean stewardship through research, education and collaboration.
Why is it important?
Marine mammals are increasingly threatened by damage to their environments, facing illness and injury from humans and our material byproducts.
How do they do it?
Staff members recognize when beached marine mammas need aid, and bring those creatures back to the Center to nurse them back to health. They are released back into the wild after rehabilitation, having been tagged with an ID number so as to track their future health.
