Why the sea lion population at San Francisco's Pier 39 is dramatically increasing

  • The dramatic increase in numbers is due to the migration of large schools of anchovies from the Farallon Islands to the area around the Golden Gate Bridge. The impressive gathering of sea lions is a remarkable sight and can be observed daily.

    i miss living in north beach chinatown. i can hear them barking all night in the distance and wake up hearing the parrots flying and squawking in the morning. i lived on third floor on a hill and can look
    across out towards bay and walk to the pier. loved living there …

    A large herd of sea lions was moving south to the Channel Islands when they ran into a giant school of anchovies off of the Faralons. They chased them into the bay and here they are feasting and basking.

    Now that looks normal to me, last year when I had friends who wanted to go to see them, I was shocked that there were hardly any sea lions basking. Glad they're back!👍❤️

    Presumably these small platforms are provided for the sea lions, partly to prevent them from settling elsewhere?

    Which means that there’s an abundance of food and the environment is healthy or their predators are missing, such as the great white and orcas. One of the two.

    Seals in SFO Bay have been living at Pier 39 since the 1980s and before - in 1979 was dropped off at pier 39 and there where a few at that time
