Oh, hai! Can you tell me exactly how to get to The Marine Mammal Center?
Since its begin in 1975, the nonprofit Marine Mammal Center, found just north of the golden entrance Bridge in the Marin Headlands, has rescued, rehabilitated as well as released countless ill as well as injured marine mammals along 600 miles of California coastline.
Most of the clients at the center’s on-site animal medical facility show up when concerned people phone call the center’s 24-hour hotline at (415) 289-SEAL to report an animal in distress. personnel as well as volunteers retrieve the animals, as well as bring them back to the hospital, where the goal is always to get the animals back on their feet/fins/flippers as well as released back into the wild.

Getting to understand a few of the regional marine mammals
Visiting the center is free, however I extremely suggest taking a docent-led tour, which is what El Hub as well as I did. trip tickets are $9 each for adults, $5 for senior citizens (ages 65 as well as up) as well as trainees (ages 5 to 17), as well as totally free for youngsters under 4. The proceeds from the trips go toward running the center, which is mainly staffed by volunteers.
