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.

  • Report Distressed Sea Lions in San Diego: 1-800-541-SEAL (7325)

Keep a Safe Distance: Maintain a safe distance from the sea lion and guard the animal until rescuers arrive.

Ensure Public Awareness: Help keep beachgoers and dogs away from the sea lion to minimize stress and potential harm until rescuers arrive.

Join the Wildlife Jewels Rescue Group Wildlife Monitoring Team to assist in locating and reporting distressed sea lions. Sign up to be part of our efforts to protect these incredible animals and contribute to their recovery.

Every single Sea Lion is precious and every single Sea Lion counts. Join us in this critical mission to save our magnificent Sea Lions.
