Sea Lion Health An Ocean Indicator, Pacific Marine Mammal Center Says

LAGUNA BEACH, CA — The Laguna Beach-based Pacific Marine Mammal Center is fundraising through 2024 to better attend to the ocean wildlife they serve.

Part of that is monitoring the sea lions in their care, according to a recent Facebook post.

"Can sea lions serve as indicators of ocean health and help us better understand our environment? Yes!" they wrote. "We are part of a vast interconnected system that links us and our future."

Not unlike sea lions, humans are mammals who depend on the ocean.

"The ocean accounts for 70% of all life on Earth," they said. "If we work together, we can protect the world we share."

Through donations, the PMMC runs programs, hires staff, and educates the public on both the ocean and the creatures who live there.

"Though 2024 is ending, your impact doesn't have to," they said.

If you are so inclined, give a gift today to help us make a world of difference towards a healthy tomorrow. Click the link to donate before December 31st apps.pacificmmc.org/wereinthistogether

"We’re building a better ocean together, one marine mammal at a time!" they said.
