Sick and Starving Sea Lion Pups Wash Up in Record Numbers Sick and dying sea lion pups are washing up on the shores of California in much larger numbers than usual. Last week there were 1,200 taken to facilities throughout the state. The Marina Mammal Care Center at Fort MacArthur in San Pedro has taken in 300 sick and dying pups since the beginning of the year. David Bard is Director of Operations.
