At four months of age, Moana was found stranded and trapped in a storm sewer near Huntington Beach, California.  She was trembling, lethargic, sick, and alone.  This is when the Pacific Marine Mammal Center was called and leapt into action to rescue and rehabilitate this pup.  She was bottle fed and provided with around the clock care.  Due to her age, inability to forge for her own food, and dependency upon human assistance she was deemed non-releasable as she would not be able to survive in the wild.  This is when Ocean Connections was asked to provide a forever home for this gentle, loving pup and we gladly accepted.  Moana joined the Ocean Connections family in 2016 and has been learnin, growing, and thriving ever since.  She gains confidence with each day and continues to be a wonderful ambassador for her species.
