The Northcoast Marine Mammal Center is a private Non-Profit Organization, dedicated to the Rescue and Rehabilitation of stranded, sick or injured Seals, Sea Lions, Dolphins, Porpoises and Whales along the Northern most Coast of California. The Center, located in Crescent City's Beachfront Park (See Map) , also promotes public understanding of Marine Mammals and the importance of our Marine Environment.

We recognize our interdependence with Marine Mammals and our responsibility to use our intelligence, resources and compassion to ensure their survival and the conservation of their habitat.

The Center relies upon the generosity of its contributors; Donations, Volunteers and dedicated Medical Staff.

If You Find a Stranded Seal or Sea Lion:

* DO NOT TOUCH beached mammals. These animals are sometimes aggressive and can inflict severe bites.
* Keep people and pets away.
* Do not disturb or chase them into the water. Animals may simply be resting and may not need help.
* Note the EXACT location, including landmarks, and CALL us as soon as possible at 707-465-MAML(6265).
* Harbor Seal Pups on the beach are NOT Abandoned!! Their mothers are off feeding and will soon return.
Please...Please... DO NOT go near them!!!
