We are the only organization authorized by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to respond to marine mammals in distress year-round along the entire Los Angeles County coastline from Malibu to Long Beach, Catalina Island and at sea.

Your support makes this crucial conservation work possible, and there are many ways to make a difference for marine mammals in need.
The Marine Mammal Care Center’s life-saving work is made possible thanks to the support of our community. Together, we inspire ocean conservation through marine mammal rescue and rehabilitation, education, and research. Read our impact report.
