It's estimated that more than 400 sea lions along the B.C. coast are currently caught in discarded rope, nets, monofilament and packing bands. If left untreated, these materials often result in a prolonged and painful death.
Fortunately, with the help of people like you, the VAMMR team has pioneered a way to disentangle and save the lives of these animals.
