Do the Friends of the Elephant Seal help seals on the beach who are hurt or in trouble?
Not if the problem has not originated from human behavior. Seals in the rookery are allowed to live according to nature’s dictates without interference. It can be painful to watch animals in trouble without helping them but our objective is to respect the overall cycle of life in the wild. If a seal’s problem is caused by human interference the Marine Mammal Center is contacted. See a recent example of their work.
