Marine Mammal Care Center Los Angeles

The National Marine Fisheries Service counts on Marine Mammal Care Center Los Angeles to carry out the goals of the Marine Mammal Protection Act. During 26 years of being open, the hospital has admitted approximately 8,000 seals and sea lions. These precious marine mammals arrive in all ages and sizes: (1) Pups-recently born yet malnourished because they separated from their mothers before they've learned to eat fish; (2) Young adults - victims of shark bites, bullet wounds, domoic acid poisoning from algae blooms, and ingestion of plastics; (3) Older adults - blind, like Buddy who is now at The Los Angeles Zoo; (4) All ages - tangled in fishing line or nets, or exposed to oil spills. We even provide triage support for dolphins that require transport to the larger hospital in San Diego. 95% percent of operations are funded by donations. Won't you please help support these protected mammals? Visit: www.MarineMammalCare.org today. MMCC LA is a non-profit year round hospital in Los Angeles for Seals and Sea lions, and it is financially dependent upon generous donations from individuals like you.  Your contribution will provide operating expenses to help sick and injured pinnipeds (seals and sea lions) and return them back to their natural environment. Every dollar of your tax-deductible gift goes to MMCC LA. www.MMCCLA.org
