Since June 8, more than 100 dolphins and more than 100 sea lions have died in the Santa Barbara area because of domoic acid toxicity from algal blooms, according to Sam Dover, executive director of the Channel Islands Marine & Wildlife Institute.
Hundreds of sea lions and dolphins are turning up severely ill or dying on Southern California's beaches as the region experiences what one wildlife group says is the worst so-called red tide they've ever seen.
Sea lions and dolphins have been showing up on California beaches with seizures or passing out, even dying, Dover said. Dover and other volunteers must decide whether to cordon off an area to give the animals room to hopefully recover, whether to bring them in for treatment or whether euthanasia can help a suffering animal that's past the point of being able to survive.
