Several years ago, a bunch of young male sea lions moved into the marina next to Pier 39. For a time, the owners fought a battle to keep them off the docks, but eventually they gave up. Today, the sea lions are one of Pier 39's most popular attractions. However, even sea lions have to take care of business, and they migrate south for the summer breeding season, coming back in August.
