Experts warn loud noises can drive moms away, jeopardizing pups’ survival, urging beachgoers to stay 150 feet away. Though Rocky and her pup held strong overnight, frustration grows as nearby beaches were closed while Nimitz remained open, despite being the seals’ home. Local authorities say they manage the beach but haven’t received harassment reports, while enforcement is complicated by jurisdiction—NOAA handles marine mammal violations, even if local cops respond. With the pup growing bolder, advocates push for stronger enforcement and better education, since Nimitz lacks lifeguards to warn crowds.
