Fishing Line Entanglement

Fishing Line Entanglement

This California Sea Lion became entangled in some fishing line that was not discarded properly. Once a line gets around the neck, the only hope for an animal is to be captured by an organization like The Marine Mammal Center.. Once captured, the entanglement would be removed and the animal would be released. Hundreds of animals become entangled in trash left in our oceans each year,

  • One of the more curious and inquisitive marine mammal in the ocean, this sea lion was unfortunate enough to have a rubber belt get stuck around his neck. As this animal grows, the ring will eventually become so tight that this animal will die without human intervention.
