A handsome reward is being offered for information about the shooter who gunned down a California sea lion in Huntington Beach.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has offered up $20,000 to anyone who can lead them to the seal lion-shooting culprit.

NOAA has been working on the case with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department since Aug. 7, when the sea lion was discovered clinging to life on Bolsa Chica State Beach.
