Hi, just a quick correction here – the telephone number for The Marine Mammal Center is 415/289-SEAL (289-7325), not “298-” as listed in the article.

Our way of life continues to do so much damage to the sea. Think of those pups foraging on their own fir the very first time. They grow weaker by the hour until they can no longer swim and then no can longer move. Washed up on a lonesome, windswept beach the world they’ve only just begun to experience dissolves before unblinking eyes. What is there to keep this from being the fate of those that caused this harm?

I know, Caitlin, they are very sad shots.

Those are distressing photographs and descriptions! I’m glad the population over all is not in threat, but it’s a worry all the same.

wow, i learned so much from this story. we take it for granted nature will take care of itself and these animals will have plenty of food. but with ocean climate change, we cant take anything for granted anymore. great, informative story!
