In a large jar in our display case floats the stomach contents of a young sea lion pup, “ Ping” who came to our center malnourished and died despite our best efforts to save him.

The jar contains one blue plastic trash bag, two sandwich bags, multiple pieces of Styrofoam and four colorful balloons. Ping’s plight is one of the devastating results of marine pollution that we are seeing more and more of through out the world’s oceans.

Plastic marine debris affects at least 267 species worldwide, including 86 percent of all sea turtle species, 44 percent of all sea bird species, and 43 percent of marine mammal species. (Marine Debris -- Sources, Impacts and Solutions, Coe, J. M. and D. B. Rogers)
