Beach Q's

I was searching and searching for something interesting and controversial for a topic question for our new beach project. And i stumbled upon an article on Sign On San Diego I felt like this article stuck out to me because it had one question that can always be debated one way or the other. "who has priority at this beach: people or seals?" this seems like a really well directed question and animal life on the beaches of san diego. What first got me looking into the La Jolla beaches was looking at this website because it made it seem like these sites where the best in all of san diego and i hadnt even known you could go snorkeling in san diego. Where were these beautiful beaches in san diego i see on pictures?
The idea of the seals came to mind when the article had mentioned how people scare away the seals and annoy the seals but we share the same living space. So do we have just as much right to it? Also the bacteria at childrens pool is indescribable it was closed for over a year because of the seal ..."waste" its only natural but it is horrible for the health of us humans. but should we just leave the site to seals or should we try to clean it up of mother nature? I havnt done further research just because im not sure if this is my final question but it is definatly interesting.

My second question is where is san diegos tax money going? reading this article just made me think why are we "tapped out" why do we pay taxes and i really wanted to look into it but im not sure if its to broad or not.
