Yulia is still with us: This morning (Monday), during a beach scan for sea turtle laying, Yulia was found by the Nature and Parks Authority's Director of the Marine Region, Guy Levyan, resting on a closed beach that is a firing zone in the center of the country. This was after last night she tried to go ashore in Bat Yam, but returned to the sea after civilians approached her.
Watching last night's footage, Dr. Maya Elser of Delphis, who leads seal research in Israel, notes that "Julia is doing well." This morning Julia returned to the sea.

See Juliet? Please follow these guidelines
1. Stay away! It is a wild animal, and should not be disturbed.
2. Report to the Nature and Parks Authority's hotline *3639 and to a printer on the website: https://www.delphis.ngo/reporting, or directly at 050-3225227 (Mia), so that the organization's researchers can reach the site.
3. Take pictures (from a distance and without using flash!). It is advisable to shoot both still and video.
4. If it is on the beach itself, keep dogs away immediately (be sure to walk with them on a leash on the beach these days!) and keep quiet.
5. Thank you for the opportunity to be part of a rare and exciting event!
