Well, Miss Irma survived another weekend out at THE PLAINS. Majority of the folks were super kind, understanding and very compassionate. BUT..Then there were some idiots that didnt give a dam about our molting female seal on shore. Went up to her, CLOSE then SWORE!! Wow, what guys to swear at a harmless sleeping seal, shows such great respect...RIGHT. Our volunteer tried her very best to keep the IDIOTS back and she done good. Well Base Police was there and spoke to these BIG BRAVE HUMANS and then got told to leave the area, and they did. THanks Base Police for being there for our Volunteer and our Molting Miss Irma. THe guys were drinking, with Bottle in hand..THAT IS ILLEGAL AT WHITE PLAINS..NO BOTTLES or GLASS are allowed out there...PERIOD!! We as Volunteers do our very best DAILY, face alot of crap too. Some times it gets to us all and its quite disturbing HUMANS act like children with our blessed creatures, who are innocently resting on shore. Our children of the sea deserve respect, compassion, and should never be approached whatsoever. Our volunteer, called us as we were with another seal...ROcky..but, we told her we would be there!!
Well, here is a fresh new day...the birds are chirping, the sun shall rise...and here we go, doing what we always do, find the critters, try to educate people, protect the mammals..lets hope its a better day for the seals and our volunteers. AMEN....

Barbara you bring up a very good point. As volunteers there is something we have to keep in mind (especially the women)... Never put yourself in harms way.. SAFETY first, your safety and then the seals safety. Chances are our beloved monk seals have a better chance of taking care of some the idiots than we can. If you come across someone who seems threatening CALL the police or authorities. You do not have to put up with that, but please don't put yourself in the way of harm

Aloha and thank you all for your dedication. ~donna~
