A group of sea lions bask in the sun at Fisherman's Shoreline Park in Monterey. The Marine Mammal Center's new Castroville location will respond to stranded and injured sea lions, seals and otters along the Monterey Bay coastline.

In today's newscast, the Marine Mammal Center has opened a new location in Castroville. And, a new Seaside ordinance tightens restrictions on panhandling and vehicle living, but critics say the law targets unhoused people.
