Stranded seal and sea otter pups, entangled sea lions, and other marine mammals in distress get a second chance thanks to our Marine Mammal Rescue Centre team and their rescue and rehabilitation efforts. Go behind the scenes and meet the passionate people who make this critical work happen and the charismatic animals in their care. Every time you visit the Vancouver Aquarium, you support our this mission to protect the marine world through rescue, research, conservation and education.

Every year, the Marine Mammal Rescue Centre rescues, rehabilitates and releases more than 150 marine mammals to the ocean. This work is done by passionate staff and volunteers and changes the future for these rescued animals. Explore the inspiring stories behind the Marine Mammal Rescue Centre.
