Marine Mammal Rehabilitation and Research Lab

This small group experience allows older teens to explore different aspects of marine mammal science. Teens gain daily hands on experience in animal husbandry while they work side by side with our rescue and rehabilitation team. Participants shadow our veterinarian on patient rounds and participate in medical sample processing and analysis. PMMC scientists teach the group about the physiology, behavior and conservation of marine mammals. Afterward, they work with them during hands on activities related to ongoing research investigations at the center. The group will spend one day out in the field with our researchers to conduct marine mammal observations to learn about research methods and techniques our scientists use to collect data.
