[00:00:00]sea lions and the sea life themselves are really exploring all of it, right?

[00:00:05]Um from the surface to the depths and uh you know, their ability to access resources and in different spaces is much bigger than ours. And so, when we see um the marine life um you know, sick uh we it's often our first indicator that there's something going on out there in the ocean.

[00:00:25]Um and where we see it is on the shore.

[00:00:29]I think when people you know, what people know about the ocean is is often what they can see right at the shore. It's really difficult to explore the ocean. Um you know, we know more about the surface of Mars and the moon than we know about, you know, the surface uh the bottom of our own ocean even right off the coast of Los Angeles.

[00:00:46]Um and like John was saying, it's that educational opportunity. Even that night we were we were seeing, you know, different organisms coming out at night.

[00:00:55]You're not usually at the beach at night and and you know, people were learning about the sand crabs that were coming out that night next to the big whale and you know, we have vitamin sailors that are uh you know, every now and then uh show up on our shores and they're coming down the coast right now, too. So, people's kind of interaction, their ability to learn about what's happening out in the ocean often comes from that interface with the beach, with the shoreline.
