Keep in mind that this was a gradual process.
It began with only a few sea lions sunning themselves on ONE dock and as more and more began to follow suit, they took over more of the pier. The state didn't wouldn't do anythng to discourage them so they eventually took over the entire pier. Now it's considered a "tourist attraction" but that would be like making the local town dump or wastewater treatment facility a tourist attraction: they all STINK to high heavens.

From what I read, the sea lions all showed up after the 89' quake 20 years ago. I also read that there were originally more but only a "few" stayed behind.
It is funny that a nice looking restaurant is located directly above where the lions are....I can only imagine eating at that place with that horrible smell. |

the docks are not that close to a restaurant and you're talking Fishermans Wharf, a MAJOR tourist attraction. there are tens of thousands of people on those docks. shops, restaurants all over there. I've never noticed a smell at all. The seal lions are not there year round, but I think mostly in the winter months. |

My companies HQ is in SF and I stay at the Fisherman's Whalf Hyatt. I was there 2 weeks ago and it was fine. I didn't see any seals or sea lions. Lot of hookers though  |
No boat, back in the suds.
