Malaia the Pelican’s Rescue at La Jolla Cove and Domoic Acid Crisis

During Tuesday’s Wildlife Jewels® EYES monitoring walk mat La Jolla Cove, sadly we spotted multiple pelicans showing signs of domoic acid poisoning. One, thankfully, was in an accessible spot on the beach.

During Tuesday’s Wildlife Jewels EYES La Jolla monitoring walk, sadly we spotted multiple pelicans showing signs of domoic acid poisoning. One, thankfully, was in an accessible spot on the beach.

We first noticed him from a distance—it was clear from his behavior something was wrong. We observed quietly for a few hours while calling for help. He was frightened by the crowd and slipped into the water, too weak to fly. We were so relieved when he made it back to the sand.

We stayed with him, watching and waiting, making sure he stayed safe until help arrived.

Thanks to the San Diego Humane Society, he was safely taken to Project Wildlife for care. 💚
