Ocean animals are in danger. They face serious threats to their health and ocean habitat such as pollution, ship strikes and entanglement.
At Saving Ocean Wildlife, we connect you with three tools that can help save these animals.
Identify our local Southern California ocean animals on the water using our convenient
field guide.
Report any marine mammal in California sightings through the hotline numbers we provide for animals in distress in California or through
our online animal reporting form.
Get Involved with any of our projects by becoming a volunteer or make a choice to take personal action from our Top 10 list.
