Sea Lion Reduction Starts in Monterey Bay California

[RVTECH]

I remember many years ago being at Pier 39 in San Fran and the docks were literally destroyed by sea lion laying all over them. The few that were not covered had a few boats tied up and I watched as some people were returning to their boat and as they approached it sea lions were bailing out of it like rats leaving a sinking ship. I bet they did some damage rooting around in it. If I lived there I would be pizzed. The residents pay city taxes to use public facilities and cannot because of the vermin. Who answers to this?

The state should sell a few tags or just let the Native Americans hunt them.

With jet boats and rifles, just like their ancient ancestors!

Nobody, cause nobody cares how much money anything takes down there, It Is a Sinking Ship!

I fully support the efforts of the Orca's and Great Whites. They are the only ones who can legally kill this vermin.

Common occurrence. A few weeks ago in Newport:

​

All that is needed is for someone to run a dog with distemper up and down the docks and a lot of this problem will be taken care of really fast.
