The Marine Mammal Center

The Marine Mammal Center is a 501(c)(3) certified organization dedicated to the advancement of global ocean conservation through the rescue and rehabilitation of marine mammals, scientific research, and education. Women Mind the Water has joined with The Marine Mammal Center to make a difference in the lives of marine mammals and ocean health. All proceeds from the sales from the Women Mind the Water shop are donated to The Marine Mammal Center.

Nestled in the Marin Headlands of Sausalito, California, just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, The Marine Mammal Center is the world's largest marine mammal hospital. Veterinarians and volunteers provide stranded and injured marine mammals life-saving care with the aim of releasing them back into the wild.

The Center is not only a voice for the patients it cares for but the ocean. Animals rescued by the Center are a bellwether for the threats facing the ocean. These threats include toxins, pollution, depleted fish stock, and changes associated with warming water temperatures. Marine mammal health, ocean health and human health are linked. The work of the Center advances medical knowledge and understanding about these links to inform conservation policy, inspire consumer and corporate behavior change and protect our future.
