From our grantees at Pacific Marine Mammal Center (PMMC): This young sea lion pup, nicknamed Sabrina, climbed up several steps and was lying on the decking around a guard tower when found by Huntington State beach lifeguards. With ribs and backbone clearly visible, it was a telltale sign that this little sea lion was in trouble. The lifeguards called PMMC, then secured her in a kennel until a crew arrived. Back at the Center, Sabrina was weighed (just 28 pounds), examined for wounds or injury, and checked in for treatment. Being so thin, she was set up for care in the ICU. She has been in our care just 7 days now, but has managed to gain 1 pound through tube-feedings, fluids and a snack of capelin several times a day. Sabrina has a long recovery ahead of her and will be in our care for several months. The DDAF’s grant will help to provide funding for the food, housing and care Sabrina needs to give her a second chance at life.
