Channel Islands Marine and Wildlife Institute (CIMWI)

RESCUE • REHABILITATION • RESEARCH • EDUCATION

Channel Islands Marine & Wildlife Institute (CIMWI) is dedicated to making a difference through marine mammal rescue, rehabilitation, research, and education to promote ocean and human health.

CIMWI is a part of the Marine Mammal Health and Stranding Response Program (MMHSRP) under the direction of NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service. 

CIMWI is the only authorized organization to respond to and rehabilitate pinnipeds (seals and sea lions) and cetaceans (dolphins, whales, and porpoises) from the Santa Barbara/Ventura County line south to the Ventura/Los Angeles County line.  CIMWI’s facility is located in Santa Barbara County at the historic Vista Del Mar School campus on 2.8 acres that is off Highway 101 just south of the Gaviota Pass.  The combination of class rooms, support buildings, and open areas provide ample space for a world-class marine mammal treatment and rehabilitation center.
