Mammals. Marine mammals do not normally roost or forage on the ocean beach. However, occasionally a harbor seal (Phoca vitulina) or Stellar sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) may be observed on the beach. On occasion, a stranded mammal pup is rescued from the beach. Reptiles. Marine reptiles do not normally roost or forage on the ocean beach. Several observations of green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) and endangered xxxxx Xxxxxx turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) have been made in the area (Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife, 2014; xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx, 2009). These species are tropical or sub-tropical, so those found in or near Long Beach are well outside their normal range, and these incidents are isolated.
