This is not about what you think it’s about. It’s about Baywatch. 2026.

Baywatch LC

Could be Lincoln City. Could be Lincoln County. Both of these places are in Oregon. Oregon is part of the United States. They are the same place, incidentally. Unless you’re in Newport, or Depoe Bay. Possibly there are other municipalities. Whoops, I forgot to mention at least one!

Oh well. Let’s not get too much into the weeds…

Here goes.

This may be a little surprising to some people. It’s all about marine mammals. In particular, seals.

What is happening to the seals?

Why did one of the seals turn up dead?

It happened in July of the previous year.

In this season, there would be people concerned about the death of a seal. There would be young women: college-aged, or in their twenties.

All races, all colors, all sizes could be represented. I picture one woman in particular. She’s a brunette with curly hair. She’s wearing a comfortable fleece jacket. It has a tasteful color. She is horrified that a seal has died. She tells people about it.

They are also concerned.

Together, they organize.

They work to discover what the cause is of this terrible problem.

Marine mammals are dying.

She finds helpful people who are also concerned about the death of the seals. They’re worried about fisheries. They’re worried about the tide pools, and the sea anemones.

They understand that the death of wildlife in the Pacific Ocean impacts their local economy. It impacts tourism, and whale watching in particular. They all meet up at the local aquarium.

Sooner or later, somebody gets them a rubber raft with a motor. They go out on a boat ride, searching for the cause of these deaths…

What they find, and who is responsible, will take at least six or seven episodes to be revealed. It will be a good series to binge watch.

It could play on Netflix. Or Amazon Prime. It would be great for syndication, and also for programming on basic cable.

It could be filmed right here. In the community where I live.

I don’t own the Baywatch franchise. I don’t have an agent. I don’t have access to anyone who can make this concept happen. So it probably won’t happen.

“Never say never,” said somebody I never met.

Enough about that.

One final note to any of the few remaining people left who actually read this blog…

Correction: I don’t actually know if anyone reads this blog. I took out analytics traffic tracking software a few years back. That was because I would have had to upgrade everything, and it just seemed like a huge pain.

I don’t maintain this blog for money. It’s just sort of a very open virtual online diary.

But I want everyone to know that a real seal did turn up dead on the beach just a few blocks from where I live. And yes it was in July of 2025. I’m concerned. That’s not meant ironically.
