Sea Lion Takeover - When the Dock Becomes a Sea Lion Sanctuary!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Francois Gohier, we witness an extraordinary sight at Moss Landing Marina in California. A bustling visitor's dock has been completely overrun by a group of adult and subadult male California sea lions, who have claimed it as their own personal resting spot! These charismatic marine mammals seem to have established their very own urban colony amidst the hustle and bustle of city life. As smokestacks from the nearby Moss Landing power plant loom in the background, these adorable pinnipeds showcase their ability to adapt and coexist with human structures. With their sleek bodies glistening under the warm Californian sun, they create a picturesque scene against the backdrop of Monterey Bay's tranquil waters. It's as if these sea lions are reminding us that nature can thrive even in unexpected places. Their presence adds charm and character to this vibrant coastal town, where wildlife seamlessly blends into everyday life. This snapshot captures not only a moment of relaxation for our flippered friends but also serves as a gentle reminder that harmony between humans and animals is indeed possible. So next time you visit Moss Landing Marina, keep your eyes peeled for these delightful residents who have turned an ordinary dock into their own seaside haven – truly making waves in both land and water!
