Your Impact Doubled for a Marine Mammal in Need

Since 1975, people like you have helped us rescue and learn from more than 27,000 marine mammals. While our work begins with animals, it depends on ocean heroes like you.

Today, will you honor the 27,000 second chances made possible for marine mammals by donating $27 to help the next animal in need? Your gift will be doubled dollar-for-dollar up to $5,000 by the Gordon Family.

Help marine mammals in need this Giving Tuesday!

Your generosity can go even further to help marine mammals in need.

Seals, sea lions and whales are struggling to survive—facing starvation, entanglement and other growing threats in a changing ocean. They’re counting on compassionate people like you to give them a second chance.

Your gift powers our team of veterinarians, scientists and volunteers who work tirelessly to rescue, rehabilitate and release animals back to their ocean home. And for Giving Tuesday, your gift will be matched—doubling your impact to help save more lives.

Please give now and be part of this global day of giving to help marine mammals and the ocean we share.
