has been a popular attraction for tourists. Many enjoy the panoramic views off the coast of San Diego, while others enjoy the proximity to marine wildlife. However, for locals, the Cove has remained an epicenter of controversy surrounding the interactions between visitors and seals and sea lions.
"We're right in the middle of summer season, and every day that goes by is a threat to human or wildlife, and every day we're losing part of the beach,” Evans said.Evans fears city leaders will close off beach access to the public in an effort to protect wildlife, just as they did with Point La Jolla.He said he does not want people or wildlife harmed in the process but would like to see something done.

Clearly, too many visitors crowd the beach and the stairs, not for coastal access or to reach the water, but to observe the sea lions. Worse, they often get too close putting themselves and their children at risk.
