Sea Lions Rest on a Seaweed-Covered Rock Near La Jolla

California sea lions haul out on a rocky outcrop near Point La Jolla, just offshore from the city sidewalks above the water. The area is part of San Diego's marine mammal protected zone, established in 2014 to limit disturbance to the animals. Adult males can weigh up to 800 pounds and dive more than 900 feet in search of squid and fish.
