Seal Pup Born At La Jolla Children's Pool
LA JOLLA, Calif. -- An animal protection group Monday reported the first harbor seal pup birth of the season at the Children's Pool, just days before a legal battle is due to heat up over how much protection the marine mammals will receive. Dorota Valli, the seal campaign coordinator for the Animal Protection and Rescue League, said a volunteer spotted the black pup around 9 p.m. Sunday. The league keeps volunteers at the Children's Pool to keep people from harassing the seals, Valli said. .

Utah Lake carp face deadly challenges
A forthcoming report says millions of carp are actually protecting Utah Lake from massive dead zones as a result of giant algae blooms. The report underscores the fact that cleaning up a damaged ecosystem is at best tricky -- and not without risk. Naysayers critical of a massive and expensive cleanup effort now underway at Utah Lake have said that the lake is too far gone to save native species on the brink of extinction, and should be left for the many introduced species that now populate the waters. But the forthcoming report shows that even the now-dominate non-native fish may be facing deadly challenges as the lake's ecosystem veers further off course. For years the state has been working on a federally mandated report to assess two major pollutants -- phosphorus and mineral salts -- in Utah Lake.
