This stellar sea lion haul-out is located in Lynn Canal between Juneau and Haines, Alaska. It is directly in the path of Sarah Palin's proposed NEW (yes there is another!) ROAD TO NOWHERE. The State of Alaska plans to dynamite a road right through the cliff above the haulout. The purpose of the road is to make us drive 53 miles to get to the (proposed new $500 million) ferry terminal, instead of only driving 14 miles to get to the existing ferry terminal. STUPID!

that's going to be a pretty drive along the coast...
once the animals and landscape is devastated.
i'm sure if they just have a sea-lion massacre to begin with, they won't have to relocate those pesky things.

I seen Elephant Seals on CA coast on the way down to San Diego..amazing creatures.
As are these!
Which DVD did you get this from?
Good questions Tomepuruser.
Is there a follow up to this proposed road development?
Was there an environmental impact study?
Will you have a follow up on this?

I suppose I'd get into trouble if I punched Palin in her fucking mouth. Stupid bitch.

Thank you Floyd for doing this video. The place of the sea lions is to save, they have a wonderful life there. I will share it with my other friends.

Floyd: How many thousands of years do you think these creatures have been utilizing this spot? Is there really no alternative place for them to have a similar spot. (They obviously like it best right here.) Is any U.S. money going to be used in this project? Do the feds know about the impact of the road? Will the road definitely push the animals out?
Or will they be able to remain where they are, and be seen by more people? Will this endanger the species? Magnificent filming! Tome

I never knew this sea-lion colony existed.
Impressive footage in this video. I hope it will get the message across. How much natural beauty and animals must suffer in the so called name of progress.

Great stuff, thanks for posting in HD. If you can, keep us updated on the plans for the Palin Highway to Nowhere.

This video footage is AMAZING ! The roar of all the Sea Lions is incredible ! HOW? WHY? Why would they build a road here and destroy this haven for these incredible gentle animals ???? What a healthy Bunch of Sea Lions :)
Thank you so much for sharing this :)
