The year 2014 was the most successful year for our rescue
and rehabilitation program!
During 2014 we experienced the most
intense and successful year of our
history rescuing, rehabilitating and
releasing sea-lions along the coast,
hand in hand with the public, police and
media. The press that year got involved
very much alerting us about strandings
and ocean issues, the product of a
decade planting the seed of ecological
values to safe lives. However, in 2015,
the challenge began to became
overwhelming with the imminent arrival
of "El Niño" that will have devastating
effects upon the marine ecosystem and
local marine mammals. Several things
have happened this two years: ORCA lead
the media campaign against cetacean
captivity, we released the first fully
rehabilitated sea-turtles of two species,
baby newborn sea-lions swam back with
their mothers, and we continued
rehabilitating weanling sea-lions to go
back to the wild as a new hope for its
species. All of these just to get ready
to what is coming next...
