The crisis facing California sea lions

State officials have declared an “unusual mortality event” for California sea lions, after an unusually high number of pups barely clinging to life have recently washed ashore.

For a sense of the sheer number of pups who have reportedly been found washed up:

In Los Angeles County, nearly 400 pups have been stranded since the beginning of the year. Last year, 36 were reported during that stretch.

As of March 24, officials said, 214 sea lions were reported stranded in San Diego County, 189 in Orange County, 108 in Santa Barbara County and 42 in Ventura County.

“Bathers Friday in the CBD” by kozyndan
pencil/digital
2013

One of two panoramic images we have created for our next exhibition in Australia. The new panoramics represent dreamy imaginings of the two largest cities Down Under. This one depicts our imagining of a Sydney submerged in water with the locals taking advantage of the rising ocean levels to leap from the buildings into the city streets flooded with sea water to have a refreshing lunch time swim. If only!! (And if only kozy and i had gills and could stay underwater forever!) <3 <3

New panoramic posters are available on our webshop! http://shop.kozyndan.com/collections/posters/products/the-visionaries-visit-victoria

We spent the week leading up to our opening in Perth, Australia, going out on a boat each morning to nearby Carnac Island to observe and photograph endangered Australian sea lions. Such LOVELY, social, playful creatures! They were easily 400 - 500 lbs, but gentle as could be.

Sadly their numbers seem to be declining on this island. The most we ever saw on the beach was 5 sea lions. We are not sure if they are just moving to some other location en masse, or if something has happened to them. Given their already low numbers, this would truly be a tragedy.

Strangely though, the Australian government allows local recreational boaters to swarm the tiny bay where they come to rest after days at sea. On the weekend the bay on Carnac Island is crowded with dozens of boats filled with drunken passengers who illegally go onto the island itself, kick the sea lions, throw beer bottles at them, put their kids on top of the sea lions for photo ops, and chase them into the water. Doubly strange was the fact that, despite being the ONLY boat there the entire week, and with only 8 people in our group, all of whom are passionate about the marine ecosystem and respect the animals and have a lot of experience dealing with them (and at least one in our number is a professional career underwater photographer specializing in marine mammals), the park rangers saw fit to come and scold us for photographing them, telling us the animals could be vicious and attack us and that we needed to swim away if the sea lions approached us. Meanwhile they let the drunk locals mercilessly harass them every weekend. The world is upside down.
