SEALS/SEA LIONS ON THE BEACH
Do not disturb seals and sea lions - it's the law! If you see a seal on the beach, give it room - at least 100 yards. Dogs should be leashed and kept away. Do not feed seals fish bait as the next bait they find may have a fish hook in it. Chasing, tormenting, molesting, capturing or feeding these animals is harassment and is prohibited. If you see a marine mammal being harassed contact NOAA Fisheries Enforcement Hotline (1-800-853-1964). Harbor seals utilize shoreline locations as resting places (haul-outs) for several hours every day to regulate body temperature, interact with other seals and sleep. Seal pups are born in the spring and summer and need time ashore. If animal has been on the beach for 48 hours or is clearly in distress (injured) contact NW marine Mammal Stranding Network (1-800-853-1964).
