Resumen

We report a California sea lion (CSL; Zalophus cal-ifornianus) massive mortality event that occurred in the western region of the Baja California peninsula, Mexico, in late summer 2020 and analyze its relationship with a harmful algal bloom (HAB) through the use of satellite images. The assessment of this kind of event is of high importance given the lack of information at these latitudes. It represents a unique opportunity to increase our knowledge regarding the threats to which CSLs are exposed—especially in light of the decline in CSL abundance in different areas of its Mexican distribution (Elorriaga-Verplancken et al., 2016; Adame et al., 2020; Pelayo-Gonzalez et al., 2021b).
