| Our Mission
We recognize human interdependence with marine mammals and their importance as sentinels of the ocean environment, the health of which is essential for all life. It is our responsibility to use our awareness, compassion and intelligence to foster marine mammal survival and the conservation of their habitat. The Marine Mammal Center works toward this end:
- Through rescue and humane treatment of ill, injured or orphaned marine mammals, to return healthy animals to the wild
- Through scientific inquiry, to increase knowledge of marine mammals, their health and their environment and assure their long-term survival
- Through education and communication, to increase appreciation of marine mammals, foster informed decision-making affecting them, and inspire action to protect the marine environment.
