Beach Burial of Marine Mammals Resumes
From Staff and Wire Reports
The county has resumed the beach burial of dead marine mammals.
Guidelines were crafted after an incident last week in which an unidentified Public Works enforcement officer strangled a dying California sea lion. New employee policies for handling the carcasses are also nearing completion, deputy county administrator Scott Ullery said.
The guidelines are expected to include detailed procedures for carcass disposal and describe how to contact rescuers who rehabilitate animals that are found sick.
