The La Jolla
Children’s Pool was created by the construction of a seawall in 1931.
It was intended as a place for young children and families to come and
have a protected beach from which to enjoy the ocean. As Harbor Seal
numbers increased in the early nineties the seals began to relocate
from their traditional haul out area north of Children’s called Seal
Rocks to the sandy protected beach of Children’s Pool. They eventually
established a resident breading colony which has been the source of
much controversy every since. Local residents, beachgoers and divers
want access to the beach. Various environmental groups such as a local
group called Friends Of The Seals want absolute protection for the seals.
After years of town hall meetings, protests and city, state and federal
involvement the debate continues on. |
