Help sea lions caught in trash avoid serious injuries and death

As marine animals face habitat loss and degradation, lower populations of their food sources, and changing sea conditions, they need our help now more than ever. While it can take time to address those issues, one way we can help right now is to rescue sea animals caught in trash.

More than 10 million metric tons of plastic are estimated to enter our oceans each year. This can spell disaster for animals, with nearly 700 species known to eat or get caught in it. Smaller sea lions are among them. Getting caught in plastic can lead to significant injuries to their necks and flippers, which can sometimes prove fatal.

You can help. Your gift can support the rescue of sea lions entangled in trash. It can also help in the development of education and outreach programs promoting community participation in the rescue and protection of marine life. This will help ensure struggling ocean species have one less thing to contend with. Give today.
