Report Details
A dead marine mammal, approximately 7-plus feet in length, was at the base of the rocks just east of Elephant Rock. It apparently came in with the morning's high tide because it was not there yesterday. Hard to identify because it was missing the head tissue and most of the body fur. Suspect it was a sea lion. Reported to stranding network.
