Sea Lions
USA, San Francisco, Sept. 2008
Pier 39, the famous Sea Lion Pier 39 at Fishermans Wharf.
California Sea Lions have always been present in San Francisco Bay. They started to haul out on docks of Pier 39 in September 1989.
Before that they mostly used Seal Rock for that purpose. Ever since September 1989 the number of sea lions on Seal Rock has
been steadily decreasing, while their number on Pier 39 has generally increased. Some people speculate that sea lions moved to
docks because of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, but the earthquake occurred months after the first sea lions had arrived at Pier 39.
It is likely that the sea lions feel safer inside the Bay.

Last year they disappeared all for 2 months. It is a nice view, but they stink like hell. MfG, w.b.
