    Paddling today we came across a dead seal by Admiral Point in Indian Arm. Is this something we should be reporting to some authority?

    Thank you for your time.

    Thank you Kathy and Mike.

    I chatted with RAPP and was told  because it was a seal I was to  call the Department of Fisheries  “Observe Record and Report” line 1-800-465-4336.   I  did, you just leave a recorded message.

    Google says “Report Sick or Dead Animals – Wildlife Health – Gov.bc.ca”

    Call RAPP at 1 877 952-7277 for injured or distressed wildlife or wildlife interactions where public safety may be at risk.
    Office: 250 751-3234.

    You could try calling the Marine Mammal Rescue Centre 604-258-7325 (SEAL)

    Best,
