Any idea what is going on with the seal colonies at Pt Atkinson? They have been there for a few days in the water, not on the rocks, they seem to be rolling on the surface in a coordinated effort as a group. Are they mating this time of year? Rental boats are stopping to watch them. Consequently, don't bother fishing around there.

They do that all the time in April and early May in Miners Bay. I assumed it was mating related.

I think they're sea lions. Feeding before mating I believe
