Officials have reportedly spent roughly $200 on the statues and placed them at strategic points along the docks at Newport Harbor.
The effort carries with it a twinge of irony: Newport along with several neighboring O.C. cities have been dealing with ongoing coyote activity in the area and have even gone so far as to allow residents in Huntington Beach to trap or kill the animals.

I hate the coyote population.

Oops, that’s a dock, not a boat deck.
Except an adult male sea lion could eat ten coyotes for breakfast...
Yeah, I can’t figure out why a coyote would be considered a threat by a sea lion.
Back in the ‘80s I had my sport fisher in the Bay Area and sea lions were a real nuisance. They crapped all over the docks and would actually prevent people from getting to their boats.
You don’t want the fool around with a male. It’s a pretty formidable animal.

That statue looks like its trying to taking a dump.
The sea lions would laugh at it.
You wanna know what really scares sea lions?

We love our sea lions, just not on the docks. Lol
