A sea lion was rescued after being found near a bike lane on Carlsbad Blvd. Friday night, according to a news release posted on social media from the City of Carlsbad Police Department. The responding officers aided in the late night rescue by keeping the sea lion, who seemed sick, safe from onc oming traffic as they waited for the SeaWorld Rescue team to arrive. Once they arrived to help the marine animal, the rescue team suspected that the sea lion was suffering from domoic acid poisoning and was taken by their team to receive professional care. This comes as many sea animals have been reported getting sick from a bloom of this toxic algae that has been seen along the coastline in Southern California. In the release Carlsbad Police ask that you call the SeaWorld Rescue team if you encounter a marine mammal in distress. The rescue team’s number is: 1-200-541-SEAL This story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser. ...read more read less
