The sea lions’ disappearance is as strange as their initial colonization of the pier about 20 years ago, in late 1989. They just started showing up one day and as their numbers increased, their traditional hang out, Seal Rocks, became less populated. There are all sorts of theories about why the pier became a favorite haul-out spot for the sea lions, but no one knows for sure why the animals’ behavior changed.

Sometimes a place just becomes less happening. Especially when you have dumbass newbies coming in making a fuss and shit. The hip crowd has already moved on to a quieter spot.
earthquake, murnut?

hmm....i know its the same faultline, and many more around, but from s.d. to s.f. is quite a haul.
maybe all the cool seals found a better spot with younger female seals?
cheaper oysters?
