People from all over Vancouver Island came to catch a glimpse of an unexpected takeover of sea lions Monday. The animals have landed on a sandy spit in Deep Bay in droves, attracting visitors eager for a up-close glimpse. The sea lions come every year but usually stick to docks or floats in and around the marina. “It’s a sight we’ve never seen out of National Geographic,” one visitor said. According to federal regulations, people are required to stay at least 100 metres away from the marine mammals. In a statement the Department of Fisheries and Oceans said, “Approaching or interacting with them puts both people and wildlife at risk.” For more info, please go to https://globalnews.ca Subscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDc Follow Global News on X HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mt Follow Global News on TikTok HERE: https://www.tiktok.com/@globalnews.ca?lang=en #GlobalNews
