"The Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Canyon is a non-profit organization that rescues seals, sea lions and other pinnipeds. The California coast is full of sea life and often our watery friends can be the victims of malnourishment, infection, pneumonia, gill net strangulation, and even shark attacks. The volunteers and staff here at the PMMC nurse the animals back to health, and release them back into the wild once they are healthy.
