How has climate change affected sea lions?

Many animals including Sea Lions are adversely affected by global warming. For those that live in the sub arctic regions, the change in temperature can result in ice melting. They don't always have access to land where they can bask in the sun. They also need land to mate and for their pups to be born. read more

However, the years leading up to 2009 were drought years, so the estuaries were saltier than usual. That may have affected the herrings’ spawning success. Second, the 2007 Cosco Busan oil spill may have affected herring health. Researchers found oil-soaked embryos, which were deformed. Third, herring declines may be the result of climate change. read more
