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 marine mammal sightings in California through the hotline numbers we provide for animals in distress.
For whale sightings or whales in distress in California use
Whale Alert for immediate reporting to national rescue and to track whales along the West and East Coasts.
Get Involved with any of our projects by becoming a volunteer or make a choice to take personal action from our Top 10 list.
