North Coast Marine Mammal Center Gifts, marine animal rescue Started several years ago by a small group of locals who cared about the marine mammals washing up on the beaches nearby, or the abandoned babies seals people find while taking hikes along our coastline. This organization has rescued, and nurtured stranded or injured wildlife, especially seals which are released back into the ocean as soon as possible. Stop by and see if they have any babies in their outdoor holding pens. Attractions Crescent City wouldn't be complete without a visit to see live seal lions or other live creatures
