The California Wildlife Center, an organization that works to rescue and rehabilitate native wildlife in Southern California, will require license from the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) for marine mammals that the organization rescues. According to reports, approved facilities of the country must show proper species care protocol and should have adequate rehabilitation facilities.

Earlier, the great lifeguards at Zuma Beach in California saw a sea lion pup. After that, they corralled the little pup and kept him safe overnight until marine mammals rescue crew from the California Wildlife Center came and took the pup with them. The pup and two others about the same age that were rescued from different beaches were taken to the center in Calabasas.

According to the organization, it has earlier renovated its marine mammal enclosures, which allowed for bigger pools. The rescued pups will be housed at the organization, as per the California Wildlife Center.

As per reports, in a normal baby season, about 200 sea lions are found stranded throughout California. So far this year, the organization has rescued more than 1,200 babies. As the marine mammal centers have been at bursting point, there are chances that some of the sea lion pups will be left on the beach.

There are some reports that showed that some sea lions end up starving on coastal beaches in California. It is believed that warmer sea temperatures have been causing sea lions' food sources to move to places that have low temperatures. Overfishing is also considered as a contributing factor.

As per the reports, sharks and killer whales have also been killing sea lions for their food, but humans are yet considered as the biggest threat to the sea lion population. Every year, the organization sees at least one animal that suffers from bullet wounds.
