Fortissima was the first elephant seal pup in 2013. After 4 months of care she was released back to the wild, and has since been spotted twice, looking great! Pupping season is just weeks away - help us get a head start and donate today.

If you are Home for the Holidays (like sea lion "Perfume"), work off your festive food with a trip to The Marine Mammal Center. Join a tour and take part in a rescue demo, view our patients, and find some green gift ideas in our store. Finish up with a trip to Rodeo Beach to watch the sun go down - ahhhh.

Meet Sea lion pup Tulie, Butter Ball, Latke and Village - all separated from their moms and suffering from malnutrition. Find out who already got to go Home for the Holidays!

Marine Science Sunday on Dec 22, will highlight the most memorable, notable, and of course cutest seal and sea lion superstars of 2013. The perfect place to escape the holiday rush and connect to the ocean!
