LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. — Up and down the California coastline, centers that rescue seals, sea lions and other ocean life that has washed ashore are reporting a pretty normal season – except for a mystery that unfolded in Orange County that still hasn’t been solved.
When reports of a seizing adult California sea lion found in Newport Beach came in, staff at the Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach were concerned.
Most rescues between January and May are stranded and dehydrated sea lion pups born at the Channel Island rookeries the summer before.
