College Club Luncheon Meeting: March 19, 2025
PROGRAM: Seals and Dolphins and Whales – Oh My!
Marine mammals, like seals and sea lions, are the modern-day canaries-in-the-coal-mine. Sadly, through their diseases, malnutrition, and injuries, they are telling us our oceans need our help. This is why the Pacific Marine Mammal Center (PMMC) works tirelessly to rescue the sick and injured sea lions, seals, sea turtles, and whales that need human assistance in rehabilitating them and releasing them back to their watery home. Besides animal rescue and rehabilitation, Lindsey Willcox will describe that important work that the Center does to inspire ocean stewardship through medical research, STEM education programs, and advocacy for a healthy ocean. Also, PMMC is the only center in Orange County licensed to rescue and respond to sea lions, seals, sea turtles, dolphins, and whales.
Lindsey, the Pacific Marine Mammal Center’s Public Education and Outreach Coordinator, helps in animal care. She earned her bachelor’s degree in marine biology from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. Before starting at PMMC as staff in 2022, she joined their volunteer ranks as a Visitor Yard Docent in 2021. Lindsey’s previous experience includes working at the Alaska Sealife Center and North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher on their Education teams. Lindsey is passionate about connecting the public with marine life and inspiring the next generation of ocean stewards.
