A short piece about rescued baby harbor seal pups being released back into the ocean near Bodega Bay, California. Thanks to the tireless efforts of the volunteers and employees of The Marine Mammal Center near San Francisco, many such ocean animals are given a second chance at life.
For a more in-depth look at the MMC, there is a great PBS documentary viewable online at:

were these rescued as babies? how can you ensure that they are going to have the skills to now make it in the wild? curious question.

@sidereally I was not involved in their rescue or release, other than creating this video, but I can tell you that the folks at the Marine Mammal Center are some of the world's leading experts in this area. I trust their judgement.
There is a great PBS - NOVA documentary about the MMC that you can watch online. I posted a link in this video's description section.
