More on the CA sea lions

The Santa Barbara Independent just ran this story ("Rescuing Sea Lion Pups") about this year's huge influx of ill or malnourished sea lions on our Santa Barbara beaches. It also describes some of the key local players - including Peter Howorth - who are working hard to rescue and rehabilitate these and other marine mammals found on local shores.
