And yes there maybe some children who may want to look at the seals and there are some children who want to swim. As long a one child or person wants to swim or use that beach, it will remain open for such purpose. Get use to sharing this beach...

James is saying that if the city and state agreed to something 80 years ago they should have the right to amend that agreement based on any changes that might have occured within those 80 years. I don't know if you've noticed but a lot of changes have occurred since 1931. Amending agreements or laws to reflect those changes isn't only logical, it's absolutely necessary. "On top of that James, you make it sound like this is the only place to see seals, when In fact there are over 1200 known sites in california to see them. Plus canada, the east coast, and the entire northern hemisphere." That logic makes sense. Let's apply it to the shared use argument. How many known sites are there in California where you can play frisbee? Teach children to swim? Dive? Fish? I'm willing to bet that those places outnumber the amount of places where you can see seals. That disparity becomes much more apparent when you apply it to Canada, the East Coast, and the entire Northern Hemisphere. "The Harbor Seals AKA the Common Seal is not endangerd, threatened, depleated or even at risk of being depleated. They are at ecological capacity." No one's saying that harbor seals, as a species, are endangered, threatened, or depleted. Why is that relevant? Just because the worldwide population of harbor seals is healthy means we shouldn't protect the community of seals that gather in La Jolla? It's not complicated at all.
