These are just a few instances of wildlife harassment by people and their dogs that were a contributing or direct factor in more than 150 cases of marine mammals admitted to the Marine Mammal Center’s hospital in 2022, accounting for more than a quarter of all rescued animals, the organization said in a Monday press release.

But the Marine Mammal Center is calling the Bay Area out as “a hotspot” for more severe cases of harassment, specifically in Marin County, San Francisco and San Mateo County. Twelve cases were reported in Marin, 13 in San Francisco, and 21 in San Mateo, and despite all three counties having fewer cases than Santa Cruz County, Rulli said the nature of the incidents were alarming.
