A coastal California community is at odds over one of its biggest tourist attractions as residents draw a line in the sand for what’s more important: allowing sea lions to thrive or keeping the beach accessible to humans.
Multiple community groups in San Diego are clashing with city officials over how to mitigate the thousands of tourists who flock to La Jolla Cove to see the sea lions and their pups on the rocky shore.
Environmentalists argue that the city’s failure to develop a more effective management plan has put the animals in danger, as several sea lion pups have died this summer potentially due to human interaction at La Jolla Cove.
