During our wildlife monitoring walk at La Jolla Cove today, we encountered a troubling sight: a sea lion entangled in Gillnet. He was resting close to the cliff wall at Boomer Beach just south of Point La Jolla, appearing severely hurt and not moving.

We reported the sea lion and stayed by him until past sunset. If you spot this sea lion, please call for help immediately.

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.
