On March 10, 2014, a sea lion was disentangled with help from Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Centre and Fisheries and Oceans Canada staff.
Acting on reports of a sea lion with garbage around its neck, the team ventured into Fanny Bay, north of Nanaimo on the west coast of Vancouver Island. They came across a Steller sea lion that had a large scar from when it was previously entangled, but they did not find the sea lion in question.
The team eventually came across another sea lion at the other end of the bay, this time a young male California sea lion, that had garbage stuck around its neck. The Aquarium’s veterinarian, Dr. Martin Haulena, tranquilized it before cutting the plastic strap off and treating the wound.
The Vancouver Aquarium runs the Marine Mammal Rescue Centre where it treats “inpatients.” It also works cooperatively with other organizations to rescue and treat animals in the ocean.
Many thanks to Canadian Wildlife Federation for their support on this project.

Oh dear seal, I am sorry, I am sorry on the behalf of stubborn "Humankind"
Assalamu Alaikum Rahmatullahi Barakatuh thank you very much you are working this good job thank you thank you very very very very thank you I am from Bangladesh thank you
Poor seal is now an addict and angry . All he does is look for stringy things that he can use to make it look like he is
in need of help . When he finds what he needs , he goes back to the logs and waits for his dealer to shoot him .
He is angry because , his dealer is always late , sometimes he never shows up . Poor Seal , knows
what its like to be on Dealers time .
The ocean is not a garbage dump. It takes a real asshole to throw trash off of a boat. Thanks to the people for helping out.

If a new energy source would put oil workers out of the job , they could be re employed doing environmental cleanups…… Even haliburton and ExxonMobil could get the cleanup contracts
Very good
