Growing Sick Seal Problem

 

A group of malnourished seals amongst a healed one at the marine Mammal Center.

Over the last two years, I've become aware and have joined in the effort to stop the increasing number of harbor and fur seals washing up along California. These seals come in weak, malnourished, sick, and often less than a year old. Sanctuaries such as the Marine Mammal Center and Monterey Bay Aquarium take the pups in, but they only have so much room in their facilities. I recently drove up to the Marine Mammal Center and got to watch what they do along with help out (will post about that soon).
