Best Response for Stranded Marine Mammals

This past weekend, a two-week old seal pup was found dehydrated and stranded on the rocks at Crystal Water Beach. The Whatcom Marine Mammal Stranding Network (WMMSN) was called to collect the pup and take it to a local rehabilitation center. An update on the pup’s health is pending.

Although this is not a regular occurrence, marine mammals in distress or diseased may be seen on our beach from time to time. Community members and their pets should stay a minimum of 50 yards away. This equals 45 meters or 1/2 a football field.

To report a marine mammal deceased or in distress please call 360-966-8845. If after hours, please leave a message with a phone number where you can be called back.

2021 Annual General Meeting

We will be able to have our meetings in person (like this one), once again when the borders open and we can visit our lovely cabins and community. The meetings will cover our CWBCA and CWBTA for year 2020 and 2021. If we need a special general meeting for 2021 when the borders open we will let the community know. Many of the projects we had planned to complete are tabled until we can visit our community again.
