Sea Lion rescue
top of page
Sea Lion Rescued on the CCK Jack London Square DockSaturday, August 1st a Sea Lion hauled out on our dock looking pretty ragged. JT called the Marine Mammal Center to have them come and check him out. The Center is extremely busy with calls from all over. They did make it here and were able to rescue TK Lewis after a couple of attempts and some patience along with some cover provided by CCK staff member Dustin. Each rescued animal is given a name so you can follow their progress on the Marine Mammal Center website. TK Lewis was picked because one of the rescue people is an Oakland Police officer and knew TK was our beat cop before retiring. TK (the person not the Sea Lion) is now head of Jack London Square security. Needless to say we are all very happy to see the rescue and that TK will get some great care at the New facility. So goes another day at the Kayak shop.
