OUR Mission Statement

Pacific Marine Mammal Center inspires ocean stewardship through animal rescue and rehabilitation, medical research, STEM education programs, and advocacy for a healthy ocean.

CEO 2022-Present

GLENN GRAY

“If we do not take care of what covers 70% of our planet, the other 30% is in grave danger. Through our rescue + rehabilitation efforts and our research + education initiatives, PMMC is not only treating symptoms but also addressing causes. We all must become better stewards of our oceans.”
