MAR. Marine Animal Rescue
Description
Whales, dolphins, seal lions, and other creatures can become beached or entangled in numerous places along the California coast. And while a great many of those cases end sadly, the Los Angeles-based group known as Marine Animal Rescue has also saved thousands of marine animals from death. This video profiles MAR and its participation in the national whale disentanglement network as well as its educational presentations and community outreach programs. MAR's opposition to the capture and confinement of healthy marine mammals is also discussed.
