During our wildlife monitoring walk at La Jolla Cove yesterday, we were disturbed to spot and report a distressed sea lion. We spotted a male sea lion dragging himself on the sand, back flippers appearing to be tied up with a rope, looking very thin and weak.

Please keep an eye on the beach for him and if you spot him call for help ASAP.

How You Can Help:

Report Distressed Sea Lions: If you encounter a sea lion showing signs of distress, contact the nearest marine mammal rescue center immediately.
