To further their environmental projects, several titleholders in the 2021 Miss Earth USA pageant gathered in La Jolla on July 25 to conclude a three-day mission trip in San Diego.
The day included a kayaking tour of the La Jolla coast and Miss Earth USA Marisa Butler leading a Leave No Trace workshop on outdoor ethics, certifying the participants for having completed the training.
The day also included a Sierra Club Seal Society of San Diego talk at the gazebo above the Children’s Pool, during which Seal Society docent Robyn Davidoff provided information to the women about the history of the Children’s Pool beach, the differences between seals and sea lions and the ways the Seal Society has acted to protect them. Davidoff then led the group to Point La Jolla to observe sea lions’ behavior.

The city of San Diego has completed installation of signs and stenciling around Point La Jolla to alert visitors to keep their distance from the sea lions that haul out there.
Some signs read “Stay back: Sea lion birthing area.” Others caution that sea lions can bite and that harassing them is against the law.
The stenciling, placed on trash cans, the sidewalk and the short wall that lines Point La Jolla, reads “Do not approach mothers or pups” and “Do not approach sea lions.”
Point La Jolla is a rocky area between the La Jolla Cove beach and Boomer Beach, where sea lions often go on land to rest.
