Lifeguards brave difficult surf conditions within a Harbor Seal Rookery/ Haul Out Site in La Jolla, California as the public and the Harbor Seals watch and wonder who could have made them go out in such conditions and disturb the exhausted resting Seals?

The life guard should call the police and have that moron arrested for putting him in danger for no reason other than he is reckless.

As it turns out, the swimmer was a lifeguard just working out.. I really tried to give these guys the benifit of the doubt while I was filming, but he went right up into the temporary tower after performing this stunt.

Show me an article where Harbor Seals were near extinction. I googled but couldn't find anything of the sort.

Well to me the way I see this is the lifeguards are practicing for what is a very likely situation where some bozo that decides he wants to mess with the seals gets sucked out into the ocean. They are practicing that way they don't get hurt.

Well, you will now have to take into account  Polar Ice Melt too, spearfishing, I'm sure NOAA will. Once again, your point is?

[spearfishinglajolla]

The mean average of all the high tides (high high tides and low high tides) occurring over a certain period of time, usually 18.6 years (one lunar epoch). NOAA.

Oh my goodness spearfishing. "mean or median high tide " means nothing more or less than the average high tide.
