Pacific Marine Mammal Center reopens to visitors
Print Brock Wetzel was taking a walk with his grandfather, brother and sister around some rocky cliffs near San Onofre surf beach on Presidents Day when he noticed a small sea lion lying on a sandy berm. “We thought it was just fine at first,” the 12-year-old San Clemente resident said. “Then it turned around, and we saw it had a cut on it.” They reached out to Wetzel’s aunt, Candice Appleby, a professional paddleboarder whose affinity for pinnipeds is so well-known her friends jokingly refer to her as the fairy godmother of sea lions. She knew just who to call.
