The Marine Mammal Center is a nonprofit organization focused on advancing global ocean conservation through the rescue and rehabilitation of marine mammals, supported by scientific research and education. Based in Sausalito, California, the center operates programs in California and Hawaii and is described as the world's largest marine mammal hospital. It also conducts research and educational initiatives to inform conservation and raise public awareness about marine mammal welfare. In 2025, the organization expanded with a new facility in Castroville to serve Monterey Bay animals, illustrating ongoing regional growth. Its Hawaii program, Ke Kai Ola, and public-facing partnerships such as Pier 39 reflect a broad approach to outreach, engagement, and education beyond its home region.
