Protecting Sea Lions at La Jolla Cove: La Jolla Cove Sea Lions Urgently Need Your Help
Protecting Sea Lions at La Jolla Cove: How You Can Help
During our wildlife monitoring walk at La Jolla Cove last week, we were disturbed to spot and report two distressed sea lion pups. Since then, it has been reported that three dead pups have been found on the beach, and two others had to be rescued.
Unfortunately, the large crowds and public interference, including petting the sea lions, have likely contributed to these deaths.
To protect these majestic sea lion pups, we need rangers to monitor the sea lions and track public interference. Additionally, placing cones and signs to educate the public about the sea lion pups and the threats they face is crucial.

On Sunday December 15th, Wildlife Jewels organized and hosted a community beach clean-up in Corona Del Mar State Beach and king tides exploration walk at little corona del mar tide pools. During the event, we encountered a beautiful Gull with one foot missing and the other entangled in fishing line. As we wrapped up, the Gull flew towards us, landing nearby, almost as if seeking help. This unforgettable moment was a powerful reminder of the devastating impact debris has on our precious wildlife.

Sadly, sea lions across the California coast are suffering from domoic acid poisoning once again. Last year, this dangerous toxin affected thousands of marine mammals, leading to widespread illness and death. Sadly, the crisis has reemerged, and sea lions urgently need our help.
