On Saturday 3/16/24, the California Wildlife Center responded to a call about a Gray whale in distress at Little Dume in Malibu. He has since deceased and was an approximately 13,000 pound sub-adult male who stranded and is wedged in the sand. We are currently planning to get samples from the whale to help determine why this happened. NOAA and CWC are working together to formulate a plan for next steps.

As the tide rises, the animal may shift in the waves so please keep a safe distance.

Call 310/924-7256 with questions or if you see a marine animal in distress.

"Over the weekend, Los Angeles County Lifeguards and the Sherrifs' Department responded to a vehicle that had driven into the ocean just south of the Venice Pier following a high-speed pursuit that originated in Temple City.

Once the car began to submerge, the driver escaped the vehicle and swam towards the end of the pier, where they were ultimately detained by the Sherrifs. Lifegurads searched the vehicle for additional occupants and found two dogs were left inside the vehicle, lifeguards rescued and returned them to shore.

While the mission of the Department has always been to protect life, property, and the environment, this time life took the form of two Boston Terriers. Thankfully, everyone is safe, and the vehicle has since been removed from the water with minimal environmental impacts
