LOS ANGELES — A wave of sick and injured sea creatures is pushing the Marine Mammal Care Center to the limit, jeopardizing the San Pedro-based veterinary assistance and food shelter's ability to provide necessary care.
Without more financial help and volunteers, animals "might not be able to be rescued," center Chief Executive John Warner said during a news conference this week in Marina del Rey.
"We need as many resources as possible to continue to care for animals, for marine mammals that have been dealing with this algae bloom," he said Thursday.
