Good news for a change (saving marine life)

With all the bad news about oil spills and the economy dumping it’s refreshing to hear some good news.

Marine Mammal Center (located in Northern California) rescues marine life along the California coastline. Not only are these marine mammals rescued but they are rehabilitated and then returned to their natural habitat.

Enjoy this short celebratory video as seals are being returned to their home at Moss Beach (filmed and produced by Rocky Barbanica.)
