You may have noticed there are a lot of sea lions at local beaches right now, including San Carlos Beach. Everyone, please remember to enjoy them from a good distance - they are large and can be territorial and unpredictable.
A reminder: all marine mammals, including sea lions, are protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. People who harass, feed, capture, or kill any marine mammal could face a hefty fine or even jail time. It's their bay too.
