107: Marine Mammal Care Center w/ Dave Bader

*SEE BELOW FOR UPDATED MARINE MAMMAL CARE CENTER SUMMER HOURS*

As the final episode in our Environmental Conservation mini-series we sit down with Dave Bader, the Chief Operations & Education Officer of the Marine Mammal Care Center. He tells us about his SoCal upbringing and what eventually led him into his path as Marine Biologist. After spending most of his career at the Aquarium of the Pacific, like many, the pandemic led him to the next step in his career which was at the Marine Mammal Care Center. The MMCC is a marine mammal rehabilitation center here in San Pedro that just celebrated its 30th year anniversary in 2022. Listen to this episode to hear all the amazing things they do for our local marine life and for environmental conservation education!
