The new seal pups are being harassed by locals who want that 200′ of beach back, and by tourists. Everything is done by multiple agencies who don’t care about the seals or people, only their power. Feds, State and multiple local agencies and many judges and politicians have battled this out over years against advocates of the seals.
If you want to do something about it please contact the site above. For me, what the officials have done is close the sluice gates because someone was killed decades ago so no-one swims there though it was endowed as a Children’s Pool, and it has become a rookery for seals. Tourists come to see them but local politicians don’t get the environmental and tourism tolls of calls to eradicate the seals.
Let them know what you think. Cheers, Dee
