Holy shit Mark, time on the water is supposed to calm the mind not drive you to mass sea.lion eradication.

Which lawsuit had a ruling?

Banning humans from access to the beach or a handicap ramp, or something else? Did it have anything to do with getting rid of the seals, or is that not the issue?

Dang Fish11, dont take it personally, they're just animals doing what they do. Also I'm about sure its sea lions stealing your baits. Its harbor seals on the beach at the childrens pool.

I agree 100% this legal nonsence over the children's pool has gone on way to long. Children's pool is a man made place, not any sort of natural habitat.

The seal Nazi women have got to loosing their crazy ass minds right now. I hope they don't start chaining them selves to the rail and blocking the stairs.

A couple years ago I struck up a conversation at their so called information booth. She went in to her sales pitch; seals have been pupping on this beach for 1000s of year yadda yadda. I pointed out the beach hasn't been here that long. But they were here before the beach she said. I then point to the grizzly bear on the CA flag flying near by n told her that bears used to frequent the coast looking to scavenge washed up marine mammels. (And coyotes, cougars, n native americans) so there was absolutely no possible way a seal would or could birth a pup any where with access to land. Wow Talk about nasty looks.

Sorry to ramble but I wanted to show the level of ignorance of this seal group. 1st amendment is for all but they've had years to preach their side. Hope they run em out of there.

As someone who has been personally cursed at by the Seal Lady and her cohorts, I sure hope they open it up to the kids ..... but at the same time, obeying the Marine Mammal Protection Act and giving the seals their personal space.

The seal lady cursed at me as I shot this ......

Sorry guys if I sounded a little hostile toward the sea lions, and yes I know the difference of which they are and were they are. It just felt good to release a little of the pent up frustration over the Children's Pool legal situation. As I stated before having been a child enjoying the Children's Pool many years ago and then seeing the BS we've had for way too many years now. It really isn't the seals or sea lions fault that we have idiots in our legal and political system. If they stopped keeping humans from using the beach year round then both would adjust. The seals and sea lions are not endangered and do not need any protection. As a matter of fact Sea World helping over 1,000 pups last year is not helping the balance of nature and the availability of food for them.

Went on a job to Finland a few years back and while cruising the Helsinki harbor found a booth selling harbor seal skin hats. Man O' Man I wanted to buy one of those and wear it to the seal lady's booth!
