🇺🇲 Direction les États-Unis en prenant la route entre San Francisco et Los Angeles. D’un côté les falaises, de l’autre, le Pacifique. Chaque virage de la Pacifique Highway donne envie de s'arrêter et de rencontrer ceux qui vivent le long de cette côte mythique. #JT20h

Exciting update! Steller sea lion pup “Westley” is officially back in Alaska! Thanks to the expert care he received at @TMMC in Sausalito, California— and with incredible support from the @AlaskaSeaLife in Seward—Westley made the long journey back to his home waters. 🦭🌊
#StellerSeaLion Westley has returned to his ocean home in #Alaska 🌊 After 6 months of expert care, he gained strength & skills to thrive in the wild. His rescue & release were made possible thanks to our partners 🤝 at @AlaskaSeaLife & @NOAAFisheriesAK 🔗 bit.ly/3QaMZHf

Every year, gray whales make one of the longest migrations on Earth. ~12,000 miles from Alaska to Mexico, and back. ❄️➡️☀️➡️❄️
The whales feast all summer long in the Arctic to prepare for this epic journey. But now there's a problem. Climate change is melting the sea ice that supports their food supply. 🧊🦀
Hungry and tired, gray whales have started taking detours into the San Francisco Bay – putting them at great risk of ship strikes. 🚢🌉
We’ve installed thermal cameras that can detect whales and alert nearby ships to slow down or change course. By turning real-time detection into protection, we’re helping make the Bay a safer place for whales. 🐋🌎

Irving the sea lion is recovering at @TMMC. His last health check listed him as malnourished, but vets at the center say the 10-month-old pup is starting to gain weight and show signs of improvement. @kron4tv

The text reads "Westley is learning the skills he needs to feed and survive on his own. The care team hopes to return him to western Alaska soon and release him into the wild. Stay tuned for updates!"

Say hello to Babymac. The little sea lion pup was found a long way away from home in a Mountain View parking lot earlier this month. Thankfully, after some tender love and care at @TMMC, he is on the mend. abc7news.com/18409933/

SF Bay Ferry's ongoing partnership with @TMMC in Marin County has opened crucial channels of communication among marine scientists & ferry operators. This ensures safe vessel operations & demonstrates environmental responsibility to the Bay where we live, work, and play.
