Sea lions are part of the landscape and soundscape on the California coast. And when one of them is found sick or injured, it often ends up at the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito.
Volunteers from the Marine Mammal Center release California sea lions Quly and Togozees back to their ocean home at Rodeo Beach in Marin County, California, on August 4, 2023.Volunteers from the Marine Mammal Center release California sea lions Quly and Togozees back to their ocean home at Rodeo Beach in Marin County, California, on August 4, 2023.About two miles from the beach in Bodega Bay, California, there's a small island where sea lions stop to rest.
"It could be announcing that there's really yummy food over here. It could be 'hey look at me, look at me.' It could be just wanting to be social, they enjoy being together," said Adam Ratner, associate director of conservation education at the Marine Mammal Center. From the upstairs observation deck I can see dozens of pens, each with a small private pool. The hospital that day was providing care for 65 patients including elephant seals, otters, harbor seals and their most common patient: the California sea lion."We've got around 25 of them including this big guy right in the front row — an adult male named Togozees". He's lying listlessly in his pen.
Sea lions and dolphins are more than cute. They tell us about ocean health for both marine mammals and people
