A few highlights from last year’s harbor seal pupping season—captured during our EYES monitoring at La Jolla’s Children’s Pool 💙🦭 💎

Children’s Pool (Casa Beach) is closed Dec 15–May 15 to support harbor seal moms and newborn pups as they rest, nurse, and grow. Please observe from a  distance, keep voices low, and stay behind all barriers.

Wildlife Jewels invites you to join our EYES Hearts Seals volunteer team to help protect La Jolla’s seal families during this sensitive season.
