About the event
Join us at this free in-person event presented by The Marine Mammal Center's Director of Conservation Engagement, Adam Ratner. Adam will share the latest stories of the Center's patients, new research on marine mammal health, and what actions we can take as individuals and communities to help protect marine mammals and ourselves for generations to come.
The Marine Mammal Center, the world's largest marine mammal hospital, is located less than hour away in a beautiful complex above Rodeo Beach, Sausalito.
