Noisy chain of command over washed ashore seal in San Pedro
Officials at the Portuguese Bend Beach Club faced a futility loop as a dead seal washed ashore. They contacted the Coast Guard, which referred to the sheriff. The sheriff advised the Humane Society, which contacted the Road Department. The Road Department referred to the Air Pollution Board, which passed to the Health Department. The Health Department called in the Sanitation Department, which returned the Coast Guard. Club officials then removed the carcass themselves after hiring a truck.
