Why are steller sealions running out of food?

Steller sea lions are facing food shortages primarily due to overfishing, which depletes their primary prey, such as fish and squid. Climate change also plays a significant role, disrupting marine ecosystems and altering the distribution of their food sources. Additionally, competition with other marine mammals and changing ocean temperatures further exacerbate the decline in available prey. These factors collectively threaten the survival of Steller sea lions.
