Port commissioners are looking for ways to convince the marine mammals to vacate the structure. Hera/d photo by June Williams Sea lions still hanging around on Allyn dock By June Williams june@masoncounty. com Port of Allyn commissioners contin— ued to discuss ways to get sea lions, who have taken up residence on the port’s dock, to leave. At the May 7 regular meeting, 30mmissioner Michael Curtin, who was also elected secretary, suggested purchasing a float to be moored away from the dock, so the sea lions would have an alternate perch. “It's not going to work,” Commis— sioner John Sheridan said. “If you give them more platforms, they’ll just take it up.” Sheridan said he‘s spent decades working on tugboats and knows the sea lions” habits. “I don’t know what will deter them," he said. Sheridan said a “broad investiga— tion” is needed to figure out how to persuade the sea lions to leave. “We should charge people for look- ing at them,” Commissioner Judy Scott joked. Interim Executive Director Tra— vis Merrill said he spoke with several parts about how they deter sea lions, but most area ports have boat traffic and people who are there all the time. “They don’t seem to inundate those areas that are frequented by people,” he said. Another reason stationary sea lions aren’t a problem at other ports is JESFIELD Construction, Inc.
