Be a Marine Mammal Hero

Hungry pups like elephant seal Davey are pouring through our doors. Yes, we are in the swing of pupping season, and that’s why your help is urgently needed.

What if I told you there’s a simple way you can have double the impact for good?

Today, your gift will help provide what a pup like Davey needs: double the fish meals to regain his strength for a second chance at life. How? Because your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $5,000 when you give by Sunday, June 1.

Double my impact!

Celebrate GivingTuesday on December 3, 2024

You Can Help Save a Seal on GivingTuesday, December 3, 2024.

Did you know? GivingTuesday is an international day of giving that’s celebrated the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving to kick off the holiday season with the spirit of charity. You can join in the fun and help make the world a better place, one marine mammal at a time.

You can donate to help save seals, sea lions, otters and other sea animals when you support The Marine Mammal Center, a nonprofit that rescues and rehabilitates marine animals and studies the health of the ocean. Donations from kind people like you fund this critical work, increasing our understanding of how we can better protect our ocean and marine mammals for future generations.

Your donation will help send a marine animal back to their ocean home for the holidays. Sick northern fur seal pups like Larissa, entangled animals like harbor seal pup Lucinda and large whales need your support today.

You Can Give a Marine Mammal a Second Chance

Want to See Your Support in Action? Go Behind-the-Scenes with Us!

You can get a behind-the-scenes peek at our Sausalito hospital and animal patients when you join us for one of our exciting LIVE events on GivingTuesday.
