Severe storms pounded the Californian coast in late-January literally battering pelicans and other seabirds. Compounding the effects of the storms there has been mass pollution caused by run-off which has washed toxins and rubbish into the sea through storm-drains, off coastal roads, and from agriculture alongside the Pacific Ocean. Seabirds have been poisoned, hurt, exhausted, and killed in huge numbers.
