Marine Mammal Rescue Center in San Pedro
Have you ever been to the Marine Mammal Rescue Center in San Pedro? I recall going there once to see the Sea Lions and other animals that had been rescued and were being rehabilitated to someday be released back into the wildlife of the Pacific. I know when I was there, despite the sadness that lurks around the realization of how some people treat these animals when they are in their own habitat, I really did enjoy seeing them more close up and knowing that there are people that care enough to protect and save them. If you are lucky, you may even get to see pups.
The center is located at Fort MacArthur in San Pedro and it is FREE and open to the public 365 days from 10am - 4pm. This may be a non traditional family outing during the holiday break. It can be saddening, but such situations tend to help educate young ones and adults on the truth and may even spark interest in your family to become more involved in the community to help protect our wildlife.
According to the Daily Breeze there are record numbers of this marine wildlife coming into the center and if El Nino hits it is feared that it will be worse. Volunteers and Donations are both needed, so take a look at their website and go to the center to see these adorable creatures.
