Why are there mass strandings of sea lions in California?

One sea lion pup even turned up seven miles inland at a mobile phone shop.

PETER WALLERSTEIN REALISED something was seriously wrong when a sea lion pup turned up seven miles inland at a mobile phone store in California.

The number of the starving animals stranded along the southern California coastline has been rising since January, but usually they were just found on beaches. Now they were everywhere. And there were hundreds of them.

And, while the immediate crisis seems to have abated, experts are scratching their heads over what could have caused a tidal wave of sick and malnourished animals over the last two or three months.

“I wasn’t too alarmed in the beginning,” 61-year-old Wallerstein of Marine Animal Rescue, who has been saving the mammals for nearly three decades, told AFP.

But when the numbers got to be higher, where we’re getting 75 to 100 calls a day and finding animals at the Carson Verizon store and under cars, finding them all over the place, one after another, it kinda put a red flag up.

Carson, 20 miles south of Los Angeles, lies several miles back from the ocean-front.

“It had to swim miles and miles up the flood control canal, cross a couple of roads, almost get hit by a car. The sheriff’s deputies called me about 11:30 at night, saying ‘Hey, we’ve got a sea lion at the Verizon store’.”

Stranded sea lion pups are nothing unusual in these parts – dozens of them are cared for by rescue centres along the coast every year, when they struggle to forage for themselves after being weaned from their mothers.

Rescuers don’t usually start seeing them until April

But usually rescuers don’t start seeing them until April.

“What happened this year was, we started seeing those pups that should have still been with their mother, showing up as early as January, at six months of age,” said biologist Sharon Melin of the National Marine Fisheries Service.

“It has been increasing ever since,” she told AFP from Seattle, adding that there were two main theories – either disease running through the population, or shortage of food, both of which are being intensively investigated.

Neither can explain this year’s unexpected surge in strandings.

“What made this event really unusual is that the age and class of animals is very specific, and the fact it started so early,” said Melin, adding there was apparently “no large scale regional event” that could have caused the problem.

The height of the crisis

Wallerstein said that, at the height of the crisis, he was working round the clock responding to calls about stranded pups.

After catching the forlorn animals, he mostly took then to the Marine Mammal Care Center in San Pedro, situated on a picturesque headland looking out over the sparkling Pacific.

The center’s director David Bard, told AFP the baby sea lions coming in were on average half the normal weight of 50 to 60 pounds.

“Typically in the first three months of the year we’ll see between 50 and 80 animals. This year by the end of March we had well over 400 admitted,” he said.

The sea lions are housed in an array of pens. The smallest and weakest are under constant surveillance in a separate unit, while others are moved to bigger pens with deeper pools, to be cared for and fed as they recover.

Some, inevitably, don’t make it. “As with any hospital there are some that don’t survive,” he said, adding: “If we have an animal that is undergoing pain and suffering and we can’t cure it some of those animals are euthanized.”

Not enough space to house them

Back out on the beaches, Wallerstein recalls how, at the worst point in the crisis, there were too many rescued sea lion pups, and not enough space to house them.

“We were like a paramedic without a hospital. It really hurt, we were having to relocate animals that I knew were in trouble” to less exposed beach areas, but with no backup care. “As rescuers we had no other option,” he said.

Jim Milbury of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), based in Long Beach, said that between January and March, 1,098 sea lion pups were stranded on the coastline between Santa Barbara and San Diego.

That compares to a historic average of 131.

In Los Angeles County alone, the number stranded is 412, compared to 48 on average for the first three months of previous years.

Wallerstein said call outs have dropped but biologist Melin, in Seattle, said numbers may begin to increase again.

“We would expect that it might have a little lull now, but the proper weaning time is right now so normally the stranding centers will get an uptick in stranding,” she said.

“If the event is ending, then maybe that number is going to be normal. If it’s continuing. We would expect maybe another increase.”

So the parents on both sides of this tragedy have some responsibility as to what happened. I think that’s the point he was trying to make… parental and personal Responsibility.

I suspect he was not out doing charity work nor was he sitting outside his home. A 15yr old male or female out and about unsupervised at 2300hrs is not in my opinion appropriate anywhere, never mind Croydon. The NO word from parents to kids seems to have been forgotten.

    @Ronan Sexton: what’s up with only men on the journal not understanding statistics or probabilities? Were none of you especially good at maths, or were you just not listening? Either way, you’re an indictment of our schooling system, and no doubt your parents ability to raise kids with manners.

    @Veronica: A woman and a male minor have been arrested for this murder. The fact you are posting on this article solely about male violence, as opposed to violence in general, is bizarre. As you know there are lots of other articles in which men have been the perps of violent crimes. it would make much more sense to post your argument there. Your whole argument falls down here.

    @Real Name: did you read my original comments on this article? I’m guessing no, that you went immediately to batsh*t angry because you saw that i had commented. I actually see in one of your comments that you agree with me, that it’s bloody ridiculous to blame the boy and his parents for him being out at 11.

    This is probably to do with that article about teens Using emojis to sell drugs, I know drugs were always there but I notice a lot a lot more with my younger siblings kids. All think it a bit a fun dealing but they meet one mad dealer or buyer or you change your mind, things can go wrong. Probably why we see so much mindless behaviour these days.

    So now the kid is a dealer? Any proof at all for that? Unless you know it for a fact it’s best to stay quiet. Is it not enough that people are already blaming his parents?

    @Martin Flood: and what does probably mean again? Almost certain. No evidence of it anywhere but he’s dragging the poor teens name through the mud. Probably, by the way is not a defense against slander. It’s too weighted in one direction.

    Croydon is a bit dodgy at the best of times. Feels a bit errie there. Very sad society there became so violent.

    The old fashioned straight edged razor was the weapon of choice,in an earlier age of gang warfare,it rarely inflicted mortal wounds and the gang mentality for vendetta was satisfied .Ah a gentler era
