00:09.279 --> 00:11.112
My name is Jenny Smith and I'm a

00:11.112 --> 00:13.159
curator of the SeaWorld San Diego

00:13.159 --> 00:15.920
rescue Team , and today we return to

00:15.920 --> 00:17.976
California sea lions on base here at

00:17.976 --> 00:20.860
Camp Pendleton . We reached out to the

00:20.860 --> 00:22.582
biologist on base here at Camp

00:22.582 --> 00:24.582
Pendleton because this is a private

00:24.582 --> 00:26.693
beach . It's the perfect location for

00:26.693 --> 00:28.749
us to do a beach return . Uh , there

00:28.749 --> 00:30.749
aren't a lot of people around , and

00:30.749 --> 00:32.971
this gives the sea lions an opportunity

00:32.971 --> 00:35.200
to go straight for the ocean . 12 .

00:36.720 --> 00:37.720
Yeah .

00:42.509 --> 00:46.299
Oh . I'm Katie

00:46.299 --> 00:48.410
Carmody . I'm the fish biologist here

00:48.410 --> 00:50.577
at Camp Pendleton and , um , in fact ,

00:50.577 --> 00:52.466
the only fish biologist in the US

00:52.466 --> 00:54.632
Marine Corps . Today , we were able to

00:54.632 --> 00:56.939
invite SeaWorld on base , uh , to

00:56.939 --> 00:59.340
release two sea lions , California sea

00:59.340 --> 01:01.659
lions . They reached out to us because

01:01.659 --> 01:03.979
we partner with them with strandings

01:03.979 --> 01:06.305
that may occur on base and . They

01:06.305 --> 01:08.474
wanted to release the sea lions here

01:08.474 --> 01:10.815
because we have about 17 miles of

01:11.264 --> 01:13.885
protected coastline that is relatively

01:14.264 --> 01:17.385
intact that we help manage to protect

01:17.385 --> 01:20.105
federally listed species , and so we

01:20.175 --> 01:22.535
we're able to provide this flat sandy

01:22.535 --> 01:25.044
area that they prefer that's relatively

01:25.044 --> 01:27.105
undisturbed for releases .
