We recognize human interdependence with marine mammals, their importance as sentinels of the ocean environment, which is essential for all life, and our responsibility to use our awareness, compassion and intelligence to foster their survival and the conservation of their habitat.
The Marine Mammal Center works to this end through rescue and humane treatment of ill, injured or orphaned marine mammals, to return healthy animals to the wild; through scientific inquiry, to increase knowledge of marine mammals, their health and their environment; and through education and communication programs, to increase appreciation of marine mammals, foster informed decision-making and inspire action to protect the marine environment.
Working together toward the future, dreams can come true! With our members' help we've built an organization that has a singular purpose: to save marine mammals and their environment before it's too late.
Since 1975, over 9,000 animals have been rescued and treated at our hospital facility. Each year marine science education programs and events reach over 60,000 school children and members of the general public, helping to foster a sense of responsibility and connection to the marine environment. Our science program increasingly provides vital information on our sick and injured patients - what diseases they suffer from, how their immune systems work, and most important of all, how they are affected by changes in their environment.
But it all takes funding. Although federal law protects marine mammals, we depend on membership contributions from individuals like you to fund our programs. |
