Sea lions are swimming to the city in higher numbers than ever recorded, with 2,000 tallied alongside Pier 39, surpassing the previous record of 1,400. The surge is attributed to a large school of anchovies initially drawing them in, although the reason for their continued presence remains unclear.
Despite the lack of human visitors to San Francisco due to the pandemic, sea lions have taken over the waters near Pier 39, bringing a sense of vibrancy to the area. The harbor master mentions that the sea lion surge contradicts the theory that the city is on the verge of ruin.
