There are more sea lions than ever before in the Oceanside harbor area. Yes they are a nuissance, however they could be developed into a real tourist attraction if done correctly. See this article:
OCEANSIDE: Sea lions overrun harbor : Oceanside:
Up until last year there were many floating platforms out in the ocean that were used for oil tankers to connect to pipelines that brought oil to shore. Of course, the platforms were perfect haul-out locations for the sea lions. Those platforms were removed, so now there aren't many good places for the sea lions.
I think the City of Oceanside could build a good platform that would be designed just for the sea lions and anchor it either in the harbor, or just off shore. It would attract people to come and watch the sea lions in the wild, and provide the sea lions with a place they can call home!

Water from the sea: Priceless | UTSanDiego.com
It is rare when I agree with the Union Tribune editorials on anything. However I totally agree with them that the desalination plant needs to be built, and will be a valuable asset to San Diego in the future.
