Piedras Blancas is the largest mainland rookery for these amazing animals. Seals visit the beach to give birth and breed, to rest, and to molt. The rest of the year they migrate long distances, diving deep and long to find food. FES docents help visitors understand which seals are on the beach, why they are there, and what is going on in their complicated and fascinating lives.
Being an FES docent or guide is one of the Central Coast’s best opportunities for outdoor public service. Docents are easily recognizable in their bright blue jackets. FES provides professional-quality training and extensive reference materials about seals and other coastal wildlife.
