The Pacific Marine Mammal Center is a non-profit organization that specializes in the rescue, and rehabilitation of marine mammals. The amazing staff at the PMMC is trained to recognize animals suffering from infections, malnourishment, pneumonia, gill net strangulation, and other different illnesses. The main goal is to rehabilitate these Marine mammals back to a state where they can be released back into the Ocean. This year PMMC has seen record numbers of sick and injured mammals washed up on the California coast. Visit their website to find out how you can volunteer.

Hawaii Wildlife Fund is a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of Hawaii's native wildlife through research, education, and advocacy. The team is made up of educators, conservationists, researchers, naturalists, communities, volunteers, and donors devoted to the protection of Hawaii's fragile marine ecosystem and inhabitants. We bring a variety of experiences together to serve a common goal. Please help support these amazing organizations by donating directly to them or by purchasing one of our beach towels.

The mission of Ocean Connectors is to use migratory marine life to educate, inspire, and connect underserved youth living in Pacific coastal communities. Ocean Connectors was created to address environmental and educational issues in coastal areas, and we have now reached nearly 20,000 children in the U.S. and Mexico. While San Diego is widely known as a pristine seaside destination, many local schoolchildren face poverty, health issues, and academic obstacles. These factors, combined with a lack of coastal access and awareness, are some of the root causes of environmental degradation, which led to the creation of Ocean Connectors and to our vision of Connecting Youth for Conservation.
