How can people and seals coexist on this 110-yard beach?
If you enjoy swimming in the sheltered waters of San Diego’s Children’s Pool, mark your calendar for May 15. That’s the day the city will reopen the popular La Jolla beach.
How people and seals could coexist on this 110-yard, crescent-shaped stretch of sand has long been debated. But when this beach was named the Children’s Pool in 1932, there was nothing controversial about it. Humans and seals coexisted here for years, although there was tension. People were reported harassing the animals; others cited seals charging children and adults who wandered too close to pups. Soon, rival advocacy groups sprang up.
“The close proximity of these seals to humans is unique,” countered La Jolla Friends of the Seals’ website, “as harbor seals will almost always ‘flush’ into the water when approached. This has allowed 120,000 monthly visitors from all over the world to see seals resting, mothers birthing, pups nursing, males splashing the water with their flippers, and couples swimming together in their mating ritual.”In 2014, the city closed the beach during pupping season.
