ABOUT MARINE MAMMAL CARE CENTER
We rehabilitate animals rescued from all Los Angeles County beaches

MMCC Los Angeles serves Los Angeles County by providing in-house medical care to injured or sick seals and sea lions that strand on the 70 miles of beaches from Malibu to Seal Beach. In 2018 alone, we treated 389 animals recovered from our beaches.

Our mission is important to the health and safety of all of Los Angeles County beachgoers because there are no protected beaches where sick or injured seals or sea lions can rest and heal away from people. MMCC Los Angeles is the only 24/7/365 safe haven for these animals in Los Angeles County. Without our rehabilitation and conservation work, these animals would be left to die on our beaches.

ANIMAL CARE

We are the only 24/7/365 safe haven for marine animals in Los Angeles County. Over 8,000 animals have been given crucial veterinary care, food, and shelter by our dedicated team of staff and volunteers. Our animal care team saves lives!

Learn more

CONSERVATION & RESEARCH

Our veterinary team contributes to important scientific research to advance marine animal rehabilitation and broader conversation efforts. We partner with scientists around the country to collaborate on environmental investigations and findings.

Learn more

EDUCATION

We provide onsite and virtual educational opportunities for students and the public to build community and teach participants about ocean conservation. MMCC provides education programming like tours, field trips, classes, and social media live streams.

The Venice Oceanarium
2022-07-10 11:00 - 14:00 | Venice Oceanarium, Venice Fishing Pier, Marina del Rey, CA, 90292, United States
SUNDAYS- Venice Beach Pier
Venice Oceanarium EVERY SUNDAY, 11am – 2pm. @ Venice Pier. A Museum without Walls teaches kids about Marine Biology & the Santa Monica Bay!
Our oceanographic display includes rare specimens, shark jaws, and historical artifacts. Be a Citizen Scientist and help us gather ocean data from our water testing kits. Observe grains of sand and seawater samples under our microscopes. Read ocean-inspired poetry, draw, and learn about the sea life just beneath the pier. We have new enlightening programs every week.
The pier juts 1000 feet out over the open sea, with saltwater breezes and spectacular coastline views! Besides our marine specimens, you’ll see migratory birds perched on the pilings, dolphins, interesting catches reeled in, and local surfer species.

The Venice Oceanarium is a non-profit based in Venice Beach, California. Just steps away from the world-famous Venice Boardwalk, there are ecosystems teeming with wildlife waiting to be explored. Since 1995, countless people have enjoyed our outdoor classrooms through hands-on learning.
OUR MISSION is to ignite a passion for the abundance, diversity, and significance of the web of life in our ocean and its shores. The Venice Oceanarium emphasizes the powerful and enduring emotional and aesthetic influences of the oceans on human culture.
OUR VISION is to build a permanent exhibit on the Venice Pier that educates and inspires visitors about the unique and wondrous life forms in our local ocean.

About Venice Oceanarium
Back in 1995 our founder, Tim Rudnick, organized a weekend-long marathon reading of Moby-Dick at the Venice Beach breakwater. Reliving life aboard a whaling ship and Melville’s soul-searching journey while the group huddled for warmth on the sand was a transformative experience. Tim realized the importance of learning outside of the traditional classroom and founded the Venice Oceanarium, a Museum Without Walls.

This concept of blending the arts and sciences is the core of our programming. We believe that our integrative curriculum inspires kids of all ages to be stewards of our precious oceans.
Over the years we’ve expanded our outreach to include our highly anticipated annual grunion party, weekly Marine Biology pop-up labs at the end of the Venice Pier, classes at local schools and youth centers, tidepool talks, wetland walks, and other excursions.
Venice Beach: An Urban Coastal Park

Venice Beach is a wonderful juxtaposition of urban life and natural wonder. Just steps from the world-famous Venice Beach Boardwalk’s street artists and performers are miles of beautiful shoreline to explore. Wide sandy beaches, crashing waves, shells, seaweed, birds, and other wildlife coexist with surfers, sunbathers, and sandcastles.
The tidepools at the Venice Beach Breakwater are teeming with wildlife (to be enjoyed with your eyes only) as the iconic and colorful Venice graffiti walls loom in the background. There’s a secret reef, and beautiful wetlands, and on a clear day, you can see Malibu and Catalina Island.
Millions of locals and visitors enjoy our beaches. Few stop to really appreciate the rare treasures it has to offer. Our mission is to excite, engage and inspire kids of all ages to appreciate our unique urban coast.
Experiential Learning

The Venice Oceanarium is a Museum Without Walls. Our programs combine science with the arts to encourage kids (of all ages) to appreciate the environment and therefore become stewards of our oceans. We believe that this integrative curriculum of poetry, literature, music, drawing, and performance arts teaches by experiencing the world around us on a more profound level than books and classrooms alone provide.
We design our events and activities to raise awareness of the natural wonders of Venice Beach. Join us on our learning expedition!

PENINSULA NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION
The Peninsula Neighborhood Association is a neighborhood organization open to all Peninsula residents, whether property owners or renters, for a per person annual fee of $25.00. It has a volunteer Board of Directors who are nominated and elected by the members of the Peninsula Neighborhood Association each November.
The Peninsula Neighborhood Association was incorporated in 1960 to oppose a plan by the City to replace the bayside beach with a sea wall, as exists in Naples, for private boat docks (thus the name Peninsula Neighborhood Association). Since winning that battle, the Peninsula Neighborhood Association has been actively involved in preserving the Peninsula’s quality of life through sponsoring local events and activities, as well as representing Peninsula residents before the City on matters that could affect our neighborhood.
MISSION STATEMENT:
To protect and preserve the beaches along the Long Beach Peninsula for public usage and to ensure these beaches
and community be maintained at the highest residential and recreational standards.
HISTORY
One of the first structures on the Peninsula was an isolated duck hunting club located at the bayside end of what is now 61st Place. The club was established at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century. The first summer beach homes, primarily owned by residents of Los Angeles and Pasadena, were built in 1902-04. Owners of these summer homes were able to reach the Peninsula by means of an interurban electric train that ran from Los Angeles to Newport Beach. The train ran down the center of Ocean Boulevard the length of the Peninsula and then across a trestle connecting the east end of the Peninsula to Seal Beach.
“The Pavilion,” which at various times during its history served as an expensive restaurant and roller skating rink, was established around 1910-12 at the oceanside end of 62nd Place, which was then called Pier Avenue. Pier Avenue undoubtedly got its name from the pier that extended out into the ocean from The Pavilion. The Pavilion and its pier burned down a few years before a massive hurricane swept across the Peninsula in 1939, destroying or causing significant damage to most structures throughout the Peninsula.
The Seaside Walk Boardwalk, which was built in the ’20s, is considered by residents to be a historical treasure. Attempts to replace it with concrete have been strongly opposed by Peninsula residents over the years and, in the 1980s, money was raised by residents to provide new surface boards (the City replaced the boards again in 2003).
The Peninsula has grown to encompass its current mix of single-family homes, duplexes, condominiums, and apartments. Residents are a diverse group of families, singles, and senior citizens who have been residents for decades. The Peninsula continues to evolve, while at the same time retaining its unique environment and lifestyle.

EVERY SUNDAY – West Hollywood
Carry your Sundaze into the evening every week at Backbeat in the Hotel Ziggy, where a live band or DJ, libations, and late-night bites from B-Side will make you forget about Monday’s impending arrival.
There’s a revolution going down at Hotel Ziggy and you’re invited along for the ride. Our West Hollywood live music lounge and outrageous weekend pool parties are everything you’d expect and more from the Sunset Strip’s last-standing rebel. A weekly lineup of local bands, DJs, and events keeps our guests more than entertained and the local crowd coming back for more. Check it out and join the movement.

BACKBEAT ON SUNSET

Backbeat is host to the newest music venue in West Hollywood. Intentionally dropped directly into Ziggy’s lobby, Backbeat’s decoupage walls and live sets from local bands and DJs immerse guests and locals into our deep, and often twisted, musical roots. Come for a nightcap at the weekly Sunday night show or host your own party on the Strip.

8462 West Sunset Blvd, West Hollywood, California 90069

Hotel Ziggy is crusading to keep the spirit of the Sunset Strip, an epicenter of music culture, alive and rooted in counterculture and originality. We are a gathering place for the creatives of LA and the home base for visitors who want to be immersed in the Strip’s rebellious roots while having a little too much fun at our alluring saltwater pool. What we’ve created is both a boutique hotel and a neighborhood hangout for locals; a tribute to those who came to create, played, and partied. And now, it’s your turn to do the same.

EVENTS & LIVE MUSIC

Ziggy turns it up on Saturdays and Sundays with weekly pool parties from 12:00-6:00 pm featuring live DJs, food, and libations. Guests get a free invite and locals can purchase tickets to join in. Check out the Events Calendar for other live music and the latest happenings at Ziggy. SEE WHAT’S GOING ON

ROCKIN’ RENTALS

Hotel Ziggy offers guests access to electric and acoustic guitars, amps, record players, a curated vinyl collection, ring lighting for vlogging, ukuleles, tambourines, headphones, and Walkmans with cassette tapes to use while finding inspiration in LA.

UCLA Meteorite Collection
2022-07-11 13:00 - 16:00 | UCLA Meteorite Gallery, Geology Building, Room 3697, 595 Charles Young Drive East, Westwood Village, CA, 90024, United States
FREE WEEKDAYS- UCLA Westwood Village
The UCLA Collection of Meteorites is the largest on the West Coast and contains over 2500 samples from about 1500 different meteorites. It is the fifth largest collection of meteorites in the United States and the second largest housed at a university.

Our collection includes the main masses of about 40 meteorites and the type specimens of more than 300 meteorites collected from hot deserts; 60 of these are iron meteorites. Eighty of these meteorite type specimens are from the state of California. These were collected by local citizens during the past few decades, mainly from the playas (dry lakes) scattered around the Mojave Desert.

Some of our meteorites are large and well suited for exhibits (in fact, some of them are exhibited at the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History). However, most of the samples are small and mainly of value for research.

The study of meteorites and the processes that formed them is called cosmochemistry. The cosmochemists at UCLA are among the most productive university researchers in the world. It is thus appropriate that we have one of the best university meteorite collections.

We are in the second year of operating a Meteorite Gallery, located in room 3697 of the Geology Building. Opened in January 2014, the Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 9 am to 4 pm. CLOSED WEEKENDS. Admission is always free. The current exhibits will gradually expand as funds and additional samples are obtained. For highlights of the Meteorite Gallery please click here.

We are eager to add meteorites to the UCLA collection. If you have a meteorite collection and are interested in considering a donation, we would like to hear from you. You can contact us here.

LOCATION
The Meteorite Gallery is located in room 3697 of the Geology Building on the UCLA campus.

What is Pluto TV?
Well let’s see. We could pen a historical essay about our 2013 origins.

We could toss around numbers like 100s of channels, 200+ content partners, and 26+ million viewers. We could even drone on about our huge library of on-demand content which spans across all genres of movies, news, TV shows, sports, documentaries, and blah blah blahhh…
But why complicate things when Pluto TV is, at its core, really simple?
All you really need to know is… it’s free of passwords, it’s free of payments, and it’s free of all those Friday night spats about what to watch.
Pluto TV is a free live-stream television and on-demand video service from ViacomCBS.

So just lean back. Drop in and enjoy the show. It’s free.

Owned by ViacomCBS, Pluto TV is a live-TV streaming service, not entirely unlike Sling TV and such competitors as DirecTV Now, Hulu+ Live TV, or other similar services. But unlike those services which offer streaming access to channels you’d find on cable TV, Pluto TV offers free content mainly curated from what’s already available online. Pluto TV launched in 2014 and picked up steam fairly quickly making it the largest free TV streaming service in the U.S.
You’re not going to find standard TV channels, though some are represented via their web counterparts, especially news outlets. Those include familiar names like Bloomberg, Cheddar, CNBC, MSNBC, CBSN, and many others. As of April 2019, it also includes CNN, though not the full, live CNN you get on cable. Instead, the CNN channel features a curated playlist of short-form digital content from CNN’s anchors and reporters. Featured clips are oriented toward lifestyle and culture, climate change, the environment, and original CNN investigations and interviews. A similar channel for NBC called NBC News Now arrived in February 2020. Other recent additions to Pluto include CMT, Kevin Hart’s Laugh out Loud, and Red Bull TV, plus a handful of new themed channels in Celebrity, Reality, and Lives, the perfect cocktail for pop culture and reality TV enthusiasts.
Sports coverage is less conventional — you’re not going to find the likes of ESPN here. Instead, you’ll find choices like Fight, World Poker Tour, Impact Wrestling, a dedicated Sports News network, Glory Kickboxing, and the Big Sky Network. DAZN recently signed a deal to provide an original weekly series on Pluto TV, and there’s potential for that partnership to expand down the line. Pluto has recently added an official PGA Tour channel with 24/7 coverage of one of golf’s biggest tournaments.
In the Entertainment section, there are reruns of reality and documentary shows alongside episodes of Dennis the Menace, Thunderbirds, and other older TV shows. Among those various channels, you’ll also find Wipeout, a network that only shows reruns of the popular game show and various iterations from different countries, as well as Nosey, which shows reruns of The Jerry Springer Show and The Maury Show, among others. Meanwhile, the Curiosity section features Science TV, Docu TV, Xive TV, and even a NASA live stream. New additions include Pluto TV Sitcoms, offering a selection of older comedies like 3rd Rock from the Sun and The Lucy Show, and a Spanish-language channel called Pluto TV Cine.
