California rescue center braces for wave of sea lion strandings
Original: Marine Mammal Center preparing for extended wave of sea lion rescues due to deadly toxin fueled by climate change
The Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito, California is preparing for an extended wave of sea lion rescues driven by a deadly toxin linked to climate change. Warming ocean conditions are fueling toxic algal blooms that produce domoic acid, which sickens sea lions along the Pacific coast. The center says rescues could continue for longer than in previous years.
Why now: Climate-driven toxic algal blooms are causing an unusually prolonged sea lion stranding season, drawing attention to warming oceans' impact on wildlife.
