MARINE MAMMAL RESCUE
Don’t touch! Do no pick up, pour water on or feed the animal. They are wild animals and can bite. They are also easily stressed by humans.
Do not return the animal to the water. Seals and sea lions temporarily “haul-out” on land to rest. Harbor seal mothers often leave their pups ashore while they’re feeding at sea. A beached whale, dolphin, or porpoise should be reported immediately.
Give the animal its space. Maintain a distance of at least 50 feet. Keep people and dogs away.
Call WildRescue’s California 24-hour hotline: 866.WILD.911
or consult this list. When calling, it’s important that you be able to identify your location and provide details of the animal and its condition.
