Tenacatita Bay Marine Life

Buenas Tardes. I was in one of the local campgrounds this morning, close to the water, when I spotted A SEA LION swimming parallel with the shore. I ran to some other folks nearby to confirm what I had just seen and it surfaced in front of all of us, but kept swimming as tho' its life depended on it. Sea lions don't live here as a general rule, do they? Does any one out there have an explanation for why it would be out of its customary habitat? Thank you for sharing any relevant information you may have. Tho' I'm a new resident here, I'm guessing I'm not the only one who would've thought marine mammals, such as the one many of us saw this afternoon, don't belong here. Saludos. | -----------------------Re: Tenacatita Bay Marine Life

There is one that swims between Manzanillo and Puerto Vallarta. Been around for awhile now. | -----------------------Re: Tenacatita Bay Marine Life

... the California Sea Lion's extreme range extends down to the Mexican mid Pacific coast, particularly when the annual upwelling of cool deep water occurs.. usually lasting till mid May... sometimes later. They tend to prefer this cooler water and are not comfortable in tropical waters ... our area is about as far south as you will see them. | -----------------------
