US News: Record Number Of Sea Lions Crash On San Francisco's Pier, Most In 15 Years

San Francisco's famed Fisherman's Wharf district is seeing a surge in sea lions.
First appearing at Pier 39 after the 1989 earthquake, the sea lions have become a well known tourist attraction.
The number of sea lions crashing at the pier fluctuates over the seasons. On most days more than a hundred can be seen.
But this week, Pier 39 has counted more than one thousand sea lions, the most they've seen there in 15 years.

They know where safe & sound, along with fish 😁🦭beside what option? People have encroached everywhere, along coasts, remote areas, & wilderness, ... intrude & take rookeries, nursery, hatchery, & safe areas, along with habitat & biomes, disrupting & alter behaviour & relationships among food webs & ecosystem function. So those Sea Lion beasties, prolly Harbor Seals too, have no resort for sanctuary, reproduce, or find sustenance as those places were historically their preferred locations. While bear, wolf, & olther animal been extirpated, absent or waning predator populations in areas, along with watersheds & estuaries altered & impeded, so affect fisheries especially anadromous species, such as Salmon, evidently those populations are considered critical condition even with take restrictions happening, so Anchovy spawn is meal call. Seems aware manageable coexist with people & get relatively easy meals too, when they follow the fishing tours 😁. Bears, wolves, & other animals already been extirpated, while remaining natural environment further pressured. Although not far off the coast of California, the Channel Islands archipelago & marine reserves still provide for Sea Lions, & many more populations, whales, avian species that are strictly sea birds, Elephant seals, ... Thankfully, those tremendous beasts (they do defy imagination) prefer remain remote from people & don't visit coast too often, while these conditions do allude health of marine ecosystem & other ecology, so recommend become aware then take action as possible with conserve or preserve (there are distinctions), that promote their survival. Wondering about conditions along those islands & particular sanctuaries, are they observing larger populations & crowded too? Stay safe & well.
