A bloom of toxic algae across the Southern California Coast may be responsible for the deaths and illness of hundreds of sea lions and dolphins.
A SeaWorld San Diego veterinarian, Kelsey Herrick, told NBC 7 on Wednesday that the algae is suspected in six cases in San Diego, with the vast majority of cases occurring farther north off Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. "They're seeing, like, a little bit more in the LA counties, and then we're seeing slightly less," Herrick said."We have picked up around six animals so far that we are very suspicious of acute demoic acid intoxication. Tests take a little bit of time to turn around, but the symptoms are very consistent."Get San Diego local news, weather forecasts, sports and lifestyle stories to your inbox.
"We are managing more than 200 reports of marine mammals in distress each day," said Ruth Dover, co-founder and managing director of the Institute."We are doing the best we can to keep up with the intense pace. Please continue to report all sick and injured marine mammals as we are getting to as many animals as we can, as quickly as we can, each day."
