Not sure if this is helpful to anyone, but on Discovery Channel's 'Deadliest Catch' series (season 2), a pair of wild Californian Sea Lions are filmed, whilst swimming in Dutch Harbor, Unalaska, Alaska. This is a fair bit farther north along the coastline, from British Columbia where the article (and accompanying map) states the most northerly sea lions are found.

I think that the killing of these sea lions in an effort to save the salmon species should be addressed in this article.
I think that it was addressed but in a very biased way, in the status section. Also anyone know what an ESU is, or did I just miss out on that one? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Navigator00 ( talk • contribs) 01:48, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

OK, this article is on its way. The plan would be to add material until compreneshiveness is staisfied, then refereence everything and copyedit. GA may be worthwhile on the way. cheers, Casliber ( talk · contribs) 02:06, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

the sea lions get so interactive!!!!!!!! they acturly help humans if they are blind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.109.2.171 ( talk) 17:40, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
IMHO Image:Lion de mer Amnéville 01.jpg (not my photo, so I don't have a dog in this fight) or equivalent should be the lead photo because it shows a single individual, whereas Image:Sealion052006.JPG shows a bunch of them and the bodies tend to blend into each other. I left the latter in the article, as 68.251.175.168 complained that we should keep it because it shows full-grown adults. If there are any objections, please raise them here before edit warring. Thank you. howcheng { chat} 18:40, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
The photo you suggest if of a sea lion in an unnatural environment. Also the current photo show a clearly defined individaul in the center and the blended in crowd is only in the background. Bobisbob2 ( talk) 20:08, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

In the debate over keeping animals in captivity, this article seems biased against the practice by repeatedly using "entertainment" as a catch-all description for all public display of sea lions. Marine parks and zoos, unlike circuses, are accredited institutions with educational missions. Even when training is a part of the animal's care (as it is in most zoos and aquariums) the assumption that training is done for entertainment purposes is flawed. Training is usually part of a comprehensive care plan that addresses psychological needs as well as physical ones.
Should there be something bringing up that training is a form of enrichment in the lives of captive animals, that leads to them being healther and better adjusted to their lives in captivity —Preceding unsigned comment added by Navigator00 ( talk • contribs) 01:45, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

This is really well-written and well-referenced, but a few things are the problems here and there (mostly grammatical and spelling errors):
Once you have corrected these things, I shall make it a GA. It deserves that. Cheers,-- Sainsf <^> Talk all words 14:16, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

FYI I've started a thread over at WikiProject Animals that concerns this article. Probably not a big deal unless the most recent edit is contested, but it's about using wild vs. captive animals as primary means of identification (in the infobox), when the quality is comparable or the wild image is better. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 03:44, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
