Have you driven past the Pacific Marine Mammal Center on Laguna Canyon Road and wondered what is happening there? Started in 1971 with just three volunteers, today the Pacific Marine Mammal Center (PMMC) rescues, rehabilitates, and releases seals and sea lions into their natural habitat while inspiring ocean stewardship through research, education, and collaboration. Susan McLaughlin, a long time volunteer marine educator, will introduce us to the Center’s many activities. The Center covers 52 miles of Orange County’s coastline, and in 2020 the organization rescued and responded to 143 marine mammal strandings. Over the past 50 years, the Center has made 10,000 rescues, making the Center’s personnel ocean health experts.
In addition, education, focused on marine science and conservation has always been one of the cornerstones of PMMC since its inception. The Center’s educators are passionate about inspiring a sense of wonder in others for the marine environment, raising awareness of human impact on the planet, and encouraging ocean stewardship to mitigate threats to our marine mammal friends.
