EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo, we witness the incredible agility and unfortunate danger faced by a lone California sea lion. As it leaps high above the Pacific Ocean waves, its ear-flaps gracefully flapping in the wind, there is an alarming sight that catches our attention. The sea lion's neck is entangled in a fishing net, cutting into its skin and causing injury. Amidst the breathtaking backdrop of Monterey Bay's National Marine Sanctuary, this snapshot serves as a reminder of both the beauty and perils faced by marine mammals like this courageous sea lion. Despite being hurt and endangered by human activities such as fisheries, it continues to showcase its remarkable leaping abilities. The image captures not only the physical pain endured by these magnificent creatures but also highlights their vulnerability due to accidental "by-catch". It reminds us of our responsibility to protect these precious animals and preserve their natural habitats. Kudos to photographer Danny Frank for capturing this powerful moment that urges us all to take action against harmful practices threatening our marine ecosystems. Let's ensure that future generations can enjoy encounters with healthy and free-spirited California sea lions without witnessing them tangled up in dangerous nets!
