Wild Pacific Rescue focuses on Pacific Northwest veterinarian Dr. Marty Haulena and his team as they rescue and rehabilitate some of the ocean’s most extraordinary creatures.

Orcas, sea lions, dolphins and sea turtles are some of the threatened patients that Dr. Marty finds in the wild and treats at the Vancouver Aquarium’s Marine Mammal Rescue (MMR) Centre.

“The stories in each episode highlight the passion the caregivers at the Vancouver Aquarium bring to their work and the deep connections they have with all animals,” said Carlyn Staudt, EVP, Love Nature 4K. “Wild Pacific Rescue’s breathtaking 4K footage immerses viewers in the beauty of the natural habitat as well as high stakes these wild mammals face.”
