About the Organization
The Marine Mammal Center is the largest facility of its kind in the world.
Founded in 1975, The Center has grown into an internationally renowned and

marine mammals, with the goal of rehabilitation and release. Its professional
staff collaborates with over 30 different scientific, educational, federal,
state and non-profit organizations from around the world.
Marine mammal scientists and veterinarians from across the globe visit The
Center and shadow its staff and volunteers to learn from the hundreds of
animals treated each year, and from its acclaimed veterinary, scientific, and
research staff. By collaborating with leading scientists and researchers to
learn from the patients in their care, The Center expands and advances science
to increase understanding of the health of the ocean and highlights
implications for human health.
In addition to its work with the scientific community, The Center's formal and
informal education programs reach 100,000 children and adults ever year.
Ultimately, The Center's work inspires action and fosters stewardship toward
the care of our environment.
Overlooking the ocean in the Marin Headlands, in Sausalito, CA, The Center
