By symbolically adopting a patient from the Marine Mammal Care Center, you can help
thousands of other animals in need.
For just $25, you or your loved one will receive an adoption certificate and fact sheet about your adopted patient. And thanks to your donation, the animals in our care will receive food and expert medical treatment until they can return to their ocean home.
The Marine Mammal Care Center specializes in pinnipeds, which means “fin-or-flipper-footed.”
The Marine Mammal Protection Act makes it illegal to harass, feed, hunt, capture or kill any marine mammal. These laws play a crucial role in conservation and the health of our oceans. Thank you for supporting our conservation mission.
We’re excited for you to make a reservation and visit our hospital and pinniped patients!
