Pier 39 will hold a celebration in June to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the sea lions’ arrival, and to celebrate their recent return. The beloved sea lions arrived in January 2000, shortly after the Loma Prieta earthquake. Then, in November 2009, right after a record number of them took over K-Dock, their numbers dwindled due to changes in sea currents. They have now returned in full force. Photo courtesy of Pier 39.
