This likely is about declining populations of fish for Sea Lions to feed on. So, this likely is a "Survival of the fittest" moment we are witnessing where "ONLY THE NASTIEST" Sea Lions can survive the present problems. In this sort of situation people are seen as competitors. For example, fishermen have been secretly shooting and killing sea lions (basically always) because the fishermen have always seen sea lions as competitors for their catch so humans are more and more seen as competitors for food and so more and more as targets and competitors. This is likely to get worse over time not better as fishermen over fish areas and sea lions starve more and more. When there is not enough food for the sea lions to survive just expect them to be biting people more. Unfortunately, in a battle between humans and sea lions likely the sea lion (as a species) likely will lose.
