The Marine Mammal Center

The Marine Mammal Center operates dynamically within the broader Bay Area as a world-renowned non-profit veterinary hospital, research institute, and educational facility. Headquartered out of its state-of-the-art facility in Sausalito, the center manages an expansive rescue network that patrols hundreds of miles of northern California coastline to rehabilitate sick, injured, or orphaned marine mammals. Their targeted regional operations utilize thousands of local volunteers to perform critical strandings response, advanced scientific research, and youth educational outreach, providing the essential veterinary infrastructure required to protect ocean health and build long-term ecological resilience across the Pacific coast.
