Signs, a barrier and a chained-off stairwell direct people away from the rocky bluff area.
In the predawn hours this week, San Diego city workers were at Point La Jolla installing “Area closed” signs, a water-filled barrier and a chain across the bluff access stairs to begin a temporary closure of the area to keep people away from sea lions.Point La Jolla is a rocky area between La Jolla Cove beach and Boomer Beach where sea lions often go on land to rest. It also a sea lion birthing area where pupping season is recognized from June 1 to Oct. 31.
Graham said Development Services looked at potential environmental effects of having a weighted barrier on the bluff and determined there would not be a significant impact. “The idea is to keep the bodysurfing area open,” he said. Should there be interactions between people and sea lions, “we will have two rangers [stationed there] that could get involved.”
“The closure is intended to protect both the public and sea lions during pupping season, a sensitive period of time when sea lions are born and learn to swim,” Graham said. “Sea lions, especially mothers who are nursing and feeding their young, can become aggressive and cause bodily injury when they feel threatened as a result of visitors that get too close.
