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!

Book a Tour to Meet Our Patients

This patient is a southern sea otter, a threatened species. Because sea otters are very dexterous and curious, we retrofitted several pool areas at our hospital to provide a safe space for juvenile and adult sea otters to receive life-saving care.

Many sea otters strand suffering from domoic acid toxicosis, toxoplasmosis, injury and other ailments.
