Marine Mammal Commission in 60 seconds

Learn about our mission to conserve and protect marine mammals. As mandated by the Marine Mammal Protection Act, the Marine Mammal Commission provides independent, science-based oversight of U.S. actions affecting marine mammals and their ecosystems. We make recommendations to federal agencies, facilitate conversations with stakeholders, fund critical research, support marine mammal stranding networks, and protect subsistence hunting rights for Alaska Natives.
