A new state report says the booming population of seals and sea lions is likely impeding salmon recovery efforts. Lethal intervention is under discussion.
the reason Sea Lions have multiplied like rabbits is that Orca population has diminished so much.
i've been on a Whale Watching boat and observed a pod of Orca's playing around with a Sea Lion carcass. they actually throw it in the air. Sea Lions can weigh 2000 pounds or more.
