My friend Tammy found a sea lion washed ashore and very ill. CIMWI rescued and rehabilitated this animal, and I had the privilege of meeting him and helping release him back into the wild. I’ll never forget how it felt to watch this sea lion rediscover his freedom in that moment. Thanks to CIMWI for the work that you do and for letting me be part of this sea lion’s journey home.
