Our beach patrol & response volunteers find, identify, access and document marine mammal activity to aid in research and recovery efforts, while engaging with the public to foster stewardship of endangered marine mammals. Responders assist government agencies in animal medical intervention activity, marine mammal rescue and other support so these animals may be saved, rehabilitated and released to the wild.
