Hey ocean lovers! Today, I’m sharing a quick and easy guide on how to safely approach a stranded seal or sea lion if you ever encounter one on the beach. 🦭💙 1. Keep a Safe Distance: Always maintain a distance of at least 50 feet. Use binoculars or zoom in with your phone to observe. 2. Assess the Situation: Look for visible signs of injury or distress, such as wounds, entanglement, or labored breathing. 3. Minimize Noise: Speak quietly and avoid sudden movements to prevent stressing the animal further. 4. Call for Help: Contact local marine wildlife authorities or a nearby rehabilitation center with the details of the location and the animal’s condition. 5. Protect the Area: If possible, create a barrier with signs or cones to keep other beachgoers at a safe distance. Remember, these beautiful creatures need our care and respect. Let’s all do our part to help them stay safe and healthy! 🌊💚
