Last year ...... Starting to go

Using the Steve Brown isolation  cage moored to the docks, marine biologists are able to isolate and then treat injured sea lions, such as this one which had been snagged by a plastic packing band. Steve was the local veterinarian and the driving force behind the development and use of  the cage.

THE BACKGROUND

The wooden sea lion docks at Port Dock One on Newport’s Bay front have provided a haul-out for sea lions for over 18 years. They provide a unique opportunity for the public to observe these amusing and  interesting animals close up. For many, this is the quintessential Newport experiences, and we thank the Port of Newport for their co-operation in allowing public access, and their past help in

maintaining the docks. Last winter, storms destroyed the docks. The foundation has been formed to raise the funds for and organize the repair, replacement and ongoing maintenance of the docks, and to provide an observation deck that will separate the public from vehicles servicing fishing boats at the dock. We think the total cost will be about $125,000, so we would appreciate all the help we can get !
