The La Jolla Seal Cove, also know as Children’s Pool is a popular attraction in San Diego. The protective cove has become a safe place for the seals during their pupping season, between December 15th and May 15th. The cove is a popular attraction for both San Diegans and tourists, where they can observe can the seals with their pups while watching the waves roll in. Early Saturday morning a crew from San Diego Parks and Recreation removed to rope barrier that is meant to protect the seals during their pupping season. The beach is now open to the public to walk freely, but there is some concern about the interaction with the seals that remain and beach goers.
Organizations such as La Jolla Friends of the Seals is hoping for a ruling that will put the rope barrier back up year round to protect the seals from us, and us from the seals. They see a need to protect this local treasure that is admired by so many and a home to the seals. There is an importance of preserving the natural wildlife of San Diego for people to observe as opposed to watching the animals perform in captivity.
The conflicting argument for the rope removal is adopting a “shared” beach management plan, which has been the case in the past. The plan involves keeping the cove closed off to beach goers only during pupping season, and opening it the rest of the year. Parents of young children see the cove of a perfect place to take the kids, because it is so protected. The shallow waters and barriers from the waves make it a good Children’s Pool to enjoy the beach.
On Monday May 17, 2010, the City Council is expected to vote on a beach management plan that will be best for everyone to enjoy the Children’s Pool, while keeping the seals safe. What ever is decided the fact remains that the La Jolla cove is a beautiful place to enjoy our beach and observe the marine life that lives there.
