Record number of sea lions have crashed on San Francisco's Pier 39, the most counted in 15 years
They're lounging, biting each other and generally making a ruckus in numbers not seen in more than a decade.
San Francisco's famed Fisherman's Wharf district is seeing a surge in sea lions.
First appearing at Pier 39 after the 1989 earthquake, the sea lions have become a well known tourist attraction.
The number of sea lions crashing at the pier fluctuates over the seasons. On most days more than a hundred can be seen.
But this week, Pier 39 has counted more than one thousand sea lions, the most they've seen there in 15 years.
The barges the sea lions lounge on are designed to hold significant weight. But officials admit this current surge is testing their limits.
Biologists believe an unusually high number of anchovies in the Bay have attracted extra sea lions this Spring.
The spike in sea lions is only expected to be temporary as they're just making a pit stop in San Francisco, refueling for food, as they travel to Southern California's channel islands for mating season.
Shops and businesses around the area are hoping the sea lion surge will also result in a tourist shopping spree, attracting more visitors to the area.

Its actually kinda crazy when you think about the fact they go to the same exact docks year after year.
What? You never returned to the same summer camp or cottage for several years in a row?
Moved there in 78 & always took my tourist friends there! The smell can be overwhelming...lol
Don't most migratory animals go to the same spots?

Kinda crazy that humans made docks to the same place where the seals migrate to.
It's a sanctuary city.
They heard you can poop and piss any where in SF without retribution.
LOL
the good kind
At least they're not on drugs or standing at an intersection with a sign begging for money.
😂
Dont forget that the huge Great Whites follow the seal migration.
I wanted to say the same thing🙃
that nasty creature you dont want it around ya period..
Good point! 👍👍
And orcas
Yep! I'm sure they've been notified.
"It's all about the seafood" said also the orcas waiting offshore.
Seals and sea lions are not the same
And the White Sharks ..
😂😂😂😂
@@BunnyQueen97 You do realize that orcas and great white sharks hunt both seals AND sea lions, right?
@@BunnyQueen97 eared seals are sea lions
I love them !!! I used to go to Pier 39 and have lunch in the restaurant overlooking the docks where all of them hang out .❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@HailMary888You won't be missed. Bye!
I used to volunteer at a sea lion rescue/rehab/release down south. I like to think some of these babies are the babies of the ones I helped years ago, as the populations are recovering now. Hallelujah.
Next year,they will bring tents.
😂😂😂
And they will preach #saveFalestine 😂
And protest because the docks aren’t good enough
In SF, the bay is healthy, while the city is sick.
watch less faux news
Proof the Earth will be just fine
Democrats will turn nice areas into crap hole.
@@csmidt2885 go look around for yourself
In march 1995, i have pictures of a massive amount of sea lions when i was on vacation. I loved them.
*number of sea lions.
@@markfox1545 on one raft, maybe at least 150 sea lions. They were piled on top of each other. It was a bit shocking seeing the first time.
@@markfox1545 kind of weird to correct grammar when either way is right, lmaooooooooo.
Did they love you?
When I was a little girl in the 80s my father was a chef at Alioto’s just by these docks. They used to give me fish heads to feed the few seal lions that would come and go. After my family and I moved away, I saw on the news that they had started to crowd the area. I felt so guilty! Lol 😅
Now there’s a thousand of them and they’re looking for YOU to feed them the fish their ancestors kept talking about. 😊
😂😂
Their big hangout in those days was seal rock by the Cliff House. Then after the World Series earthquake they moved to pier 39. Seagulls took over seal rock. Then about 15-20 years ago the pelicans took over seal rock from the seagulls. Now there's all kinds of pelicans flying over the Sunset. There haven't been this many pelicans in San Francisco since Alcatraz was their island.
YOU DID THIS !!! im calling the ADL or CIA or CPS ? o yea SPCA !
SO IT WAS YOUR FAULT!!!
It still smells better than the rest of the city.
How beautiful and amazing gift from nature!
It's not beautiful. They are gathering there because their home is being destroyed. Most balance of nature is being disrupted by the growing human population. Soon, there will be no animals left.
I thought she was going to say something about climate. They are here for the food.
I heard they were here early for Pride month.
It's okay, breathe...
exactly what I was thinking. or President Trump caused it.
Honestly, I was expecting some Climate Change BS too...
@@SteveSherman-jp1dz They aren't going to hurt you, it's okay... you can come outside now!
They used to use the boat docks, and man the boat owners were not happy about that. Good to see they built floats just for the sea lions. Been a long time since I lived in he Bay Area.
The salmon and steelhead hatchery programs have been great for them...
Whales and seals are slowing the recovery of sea run Atlantic Salmon in Maine.
The marine mammal protection act has resulted in way too many sea lions. To the detriment of other species.
Good bye Salmon for EVER😢😢😢
@@davidsalo8397 Prior to that Act many of those marine mammals were facing extinction. Was that a good thing? And, before the Americas were colonized, who "regulated" the salmon runs and the marine mammals populations? Apparently they were handling themselves quite well before industrial fishing and the development of cities and the destruction of all kinds of habitats which insued after 1492.
@@SteveSherman-jp1dz .... Evidence for that declaration? WARMING of the Gulf of Maine, and of all the streams flowing into it (which were the spawning grounds for those salmon) is a major factor. Prior to European colonization and massive logging, the streams of Maine were much more gravelly and colder than many are now. Now, the water is not ony warmer, but former gravel beds have become dominated by sand and mud as a result of increased landscape erosion.
That's about double the number of them I saw right there many years ago.

They smell about the same though
Skid row is in LA, San Francisco keeps the homeless hidden as much as possible.

So where there’s food theres, sharks…
@Sharks Happen . Hal 🤣🤣🤣 funny shark attack story teller .

Lots of anchovies = lots of seals = lots of sharks!
This report has my seal of approval.
Thank you for your report .
I remember seeing them during the Summer of 2001. So many and they were so loud.
My late mom loved sea lions at the zoo as a child.
they belong in the zoo
On a tour boat in san diego the guide said the sea lions would sleep on the bouys, to avoid being shark food. Does SFO have sharks?
Yes. A considerable amount
Great White sharks breed out by the Farallon Islands twenty- five miles due west of the Golden Gate.
The Farallone Islands about 30 miles West of the GG Bridge is a breeding ground for Great Whites,and they're huge,some between 15-20ft..The island is also a great white shark science and information gathering spot
Yes
Yes! I remember a while back a surfer near bridge was bitten in half by a Great White.
Brilliant. So wonderful to see the humans helping and supporting ❤❤❤
Ever been to the Oregon coast?
I'd be extremely worried about another quake coming soon!
True. Very true. Animal are natural indicators
Omg .. Thanks. Back home, and for centuries!...we have always said.. a sudden accumulated animals from the sea or air like birds? It's definitely a sign of a catastrophic event coming soon!!!!!?????.... Ouch...
when I lived in San Francisco in the ‘70s there were some but this is crazy.
Would love to see them again. Thanks for the video. ❤

These are LGBTQIA+ Sea Lions from San Francisco. They are immune to climate change.
Amen to that.

They moved in uninvited they just lay there all day and crap all over. Sounds familiar for California
No, they were invited with the docks. But your reference to California unfortunately hits the mark. They have natural habitat, they would use it if someone didn't give them a vacation spot, you know like the humans we see in LA, Frisco, and now coming everywhere lax in Ca.
you can always move.
@@kalicat9492 Nah, to much investment here, and the Ca problems are in the Big cities. The rest is pretty perfect.

Had to put my glasses on. I thought I was looking at a Jenny Craig gathering.
Nah, you need to go to the Kentucky Derby for that.
in the 90s the ocean temp there was warmer. the seal population was high. as the ocean cooled they left, now its been warmer and they are back. also in 90s we had El-neno with more storms same as we had past 2 years. its a 15-20 year weather cycle.
Are you telling me we have climate change to thank?
@@SuperStoner86 day to day
They came after the earthquake in 1989 for several reasons. But it was the direct cause of the sea Lion squatters
What a beautiful sight🥰 Great job preserving the bay and protecting the forage fish anchovies and sardines, etc. for these beautiful marine mammals to eat. Proud to be Californian❤!
There was concern that the docks were becoming dangerous but when everyone realized that the best part of Fisherman's Wharf for the tourists was the sealions then additional docks were brought in.
Even the sea lions know Everything is FREE in San Francisco.
Leftism is not free.
Hey, did you see what Seattle is doing? AND it's WORKING! They have someone dressed as a Killer Whale walking the piers. The minute the sea lions see the costumed Killer Whale, they slide off the pier and find somewhere else. Maybe it would work for San Fransisco?
We don’t want them to go away. That area was built just for them. They are fun to watch and don’t cause any trouble.
That is unbelievable ‼️
How long will they be able to survive that open sweeter called San Francisco Bay
This was inevitable when they put them on the protection list! There was no need!
I do love the foreigners enjoying America's natural beauty. Let's hear it for Teddy Roosevelt! 👏
I haven't seen those in a while. I didn't know certain animals just don't be everywhere until you move and don't see any. These bring back good memories.
Do Harbor seals get counted as Sea Lions? I’ve swam with both
I see the San Francisco harbor master is a DEI hire
They have been trying to discourage them for over 50 years I am sure there have been many harbor masters in that time.

Good for a comment , gets right to the numbers , the reasons why and even the motive . And they counted them for years . I guess I just miss old fashion news delivery.
I've been this place last year.. very nice
When you welcome and cater to the homeless news gets around.
Wait till Oprah And Rosie climb on board then you will see capsized docks
Evil.

One year I watched as two BIG sea lions battled for control of their own wooden float. The crowd cheered when one was finally knocked into the water.
Wow!!
Just like the homeless leave it alone without a solution you have squatters !
Lot less petrol boats at that dock😁
California alone has spent 27 billion on the homeless and all they did was double the amount of homeless
@gerardplank3780 I agree these sea lions should be out on rocks and beaches doing their sunbathing where they can be easily spotted by there predators not in a safe harbor provided by snowflakes! These docks were originally intended for boats!😡
@@smokenjoe4022 maybe..or maybe the sea lions knew something..
Just glad they aren't waving Palestinian flags.

Don’t worry there’s plenty of white sharks waiting patiently
Circle of life.
And tiger sharks among others. Oh, and don't forget the wolves of the sea, killer whales.

not that many sharks because men kill them.

Greg Cohn, Trump's chief economic advisor in the early white house years, said, "He ge because he is bored. And his staff is no better. Kushner is an entitled baby who knows nothing. Bannon is an arrogant prick who thinks he's smarter than he is. Trump is less a person than a collection of terrible traits. No one will survive the first year but his family. I hate the work, but feel I need to stay because I'm the only person there with a clue what he's doing. The reason so few jobs have been filled is that they only accept people who pass ridiculous purity tests, even for midlevel policy-making jobs where the people will never see the light of day. I am in a constant state of shock and horror."
The Trump Foundation, run by Don and the kids, was found guilty in court in 2019 of skimming off half of it's 5.6 million veterans charity donations of 2.8 million to spend it on the 2016 election and Trump enterprises. (Mar-a-lago bills) Trump admitted he used the charity funds for political causes. He also admitted to claiming credit for monies that actually came from non Trump charities. Fraud on a multimillion dollar level. The suit accused the foundation of being nothing more than an empty shell, with no employees, and not having a board meeting since 1999. Fined 2 million, the 2.8 million ordered repaid, and the Foundation ordered dissolved. All public record. If anyone out there is still wondering if Trump thinks veterans are suckers, look no further.
Hope Hicks dated Rob Porter, former White House staff secretary for President Donald Trump. Rob Porter was the White House staff secretary. Long before, many of the people to whom he reported knew he had physically abused and assaulted both of his wives. Colbie Holderness, Porter’s first wife, and Jennifer Willoughby, Porter’s second wife, both told the FBI their marriages had ended because of a pattern of physical and emotional abuse. According to their accounts, supported by photos, contemporaneous reporting to others, and a blog post written by Willoughby. Porter kicked these women, he punched and choked one of these women, he blackened one of these women’s eyes. Hope also had an affair with Corey Lewandowski, who was married and was also found guilty of knocking his wife around, and sexual battery of women in night clubs. Hope is 35 and not married.
That's so cool to see so many seals and to know the bay is so healthy!
Sea lions. Not seals. Sea lions!
There were platforms similar to this in Crescent City, CA that were wiped out when the sunami wrecked the city after Fukashima disaster. The sea lions were back on the pier, and beaches for a while, but as long as you leave them alone, you won't get hurt. On large rocky island outcrops on the North Coast, even the Stellars sea lions were making a comeback. They are gigantic, and you can hear them from the road above, and at night, from miles away. Pullouts are great for watching them enjoying themselves, and occasionally battling to show off to the females. When one big fatty starts crawling over mothers with pups, they really get stirred up!
I thought they were protesting
Looking like downtown squatters everywhere just missing the discarded needles and them breaking into store's
But I bet they do poop in public.
At last! A positive news from the area compared to unending negative news of homelessness, crime, robbery, shoplifting,store closing, drugs..
Goofy seals🤣
There’s plenty more all up the rivers. All the way up the feather river too
Lovely!! ❤❤
They're mimicking the local homeless communities.
Funny
I would take the ferry from Vallejo to SF just to see them. There are seats to view them. Worth it !!!!! The docks are there for them. That looks like the group has doubled in population.
1:50 "The Bay is VERY HEALTHY right NOW".....hello...are you listening?😁👍👏👏👏👍
