Sea Lions Cause Mayhem in Newport Beach

The scuttling of a $24,000 boat may be the most striking example of mayhem that sea lions have caused since they started showing up in Newport Harbor in May.

Residents complain that they bark all night long, and the city received a report that a rogue sea lion tipped over a mother and her child in their kayak.

City officials are considering asking the City Council to make it illegal to feed the sea lions.
