  • Pier 39'S Sea Lions and Aquarium of the Bay in San Francisco
    Pier 39’s Sea Lions and Aquarium of the Bay in San Francisco By Lee Foster The sea lions of Pier 39 and the popular Aquarium of the Bay, celebrating all the Bay creatures, help make Pier 39 one of the most visited attractions in San Francisco. Paul and Charlie Foster meet the sea lions at Pier 39, San Francisco Who would have guessed that in 1989 a large marine mammal species, sea lions, would begin taking over many of the 300 sailboat slips at this location, where Beach Street meets Embarcadero? This happy and accidental marriage of nature and commerce continues to thrill millions of visitors each year. You can dial into the webcam at any moment to see how many local pinniped residents are lounging on the sailboat slips. See http://www.sealioncenter.org/ The sea lions are extremely low cost and highly popular street (or should we say water level) entertainers for Pier 39. All that is needed are some bleachers for their fans and an elevated second level viewing place for more fans. Sea Lions are “opportunistic” feeders, meaning they will eat a range of available fish, with the winter herring migration providing many tasty meals. Sea lions relaxing in the sun at Pier 39 in San Francisco The Sea Lions On the second story level above the bleachers there is a Sea Lion Center, dedicated to explaining these creatures to the public. Soft stuffed toys of sea lions are a favorite for young children. As many as 900 sea lions have been known to congregate and socialize at Pier 39.
