Share the Shore with Seals and Sea Lions
Enjoy watching Marine Mammals in a safe, responsible way.
While you may be tempted to get close to cute animals, remember that they are wild animals! They have sharp teeth, sharp claws, and are potentially dangerous and very capable of inflicting bodily harm. If they feel threatened, or stressed, they will react, and you do not want to be in their way if they do. Obey federal law and resist the desire to get too close.
