I take my students here every year for their awesome discovery day field trip. They learn about marine mammals and what the hospital does for them. It is a great experience and they all love it.

The work the Marine Mammal Center does to care for our precious wildlife is amazing. They run a complete veterinary, basic research and most importantly care facility all from donations. It is a truly wonderful place.

I've been a supporter of The Marine Mammal Center for many years and I can't say enough good things about this organization. I've visited the center several times, and I've always been impressed with the level of expertise and devotion that goes into saving and rehabilitating marine mammals in distress. They do awesome work at The Marine Mammal Center - not only in animal rescue but in educating the public and in research that benefits all marine science.

The work done by this facility to help sea mammals is amazing to see in person! Their work is never ending due to humans trashing the ocean that cause near strangulation of sea mammals that they treat and nurse back to health until they can be released back into the ocean. Also this facility treats the wounds of these precious creatures who have been shot by heartless humans, and nurse the sea mammals back to health until they can be released back into the ocean.

I've been an Education Docent for just over 3 years, primarily giving behind the scenes tours to classroom students at the high school and college level, as well as free public tours offered several times daily most of the year. I've volunteered for many worthwhile organizations all around this country, and I have to say that The Marine Mammal Center tops all...they absolutely set the standard when it comes to volunteer training, education, and research, not to mention the rehabilitation of the hundreds of marine mammals they rescue annually. Part of a national stranding network, The Marine Mammal Center is responsible for over 600 miles of coastal rescue range. By patient volume, they are the largest hospital of their kind in the world. The outstanding work that they do there is accomplished by less than 50 paid staff, and with the incredible generosity of over 1,000 volunteers. For those of you who've mentioned in your review that you haven't stopped by, take the time to do it next time you come to San Francisco. Take the free tour. You will be amazed at what you learn.

I have been a donor to TMMC for years, but I just started volunteering in the spring of 2012. I can honestly say it's the most fulfilling thing I've ever done. Sometimes it's hard work, most times it's smelly and dirty work, but it doesn't matter. I leave there feeling on top of the world knowing that whatever I did that day, I helped a creature who needed more than luck. The devotion of the doctors, staff, and volunteers is beyond commendable. We are all there for the same purpose - to help a sick or injured creature become healthy again so it can swim, play, have a family, and just be. I urge anyone who has not visited to do so. I also urge anyone who can to volunteer. I feel so fortunate that I am a part of such a unique and worthy organization.

The Marine Mammal Center is a very important organization not only to the plight of marine mammals in the San Francisco Bay Area and Monterey Counties, but to the good of all beings of our world.
