Sea Lions
The sea lions camped out in PIER 39's West Marina have been endearingly coined, "Sea Lebrities." These California sea lions "hauled out" on PIER 39's K-Dock shortly after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The boisterous barking pinnipeds started arriving in droves, taking over the docks in January 1990. At first they numbered from 10-50, but due to a plentiful supply of herring, the available dock space and a protected environment, the population grew to more than 300 within a couple of months. Each winter the population grows as high as 900. During the summer months the sea lions tend to migrate to the Channel Islands, but now a small group chooses to stay at PIER 39's K-Dock. Year-round, weather permitting, free educational talks, provided by Marine Mammal Center volunteers, are available on weekends from 11 am to 5 pm. For information about the sea lions at PIER 39: 415.705.5500. For information about the Marine Mammal Center: 415.289.SEAL.
