May 28, 2015: Monterey Considers Proposal for Sea Lion Deterrence Mat

(09:30) MONTEREY– Monterey officials are considering a new way to deter sea lions. The harbormaster is asking the city for $15,000 to purchase a low-voltage sea lion deterrence mat. The mat applies a low direct current pulse to scare away the sea lions without injuring them. The device is portable and can be placed at the end of a pier. This system was used for a few months last year and proved to be effective. (M.K.)
