If you walk towards them most of the time they will leave. An 800 pound male will charge you also! It's happened before. Noise and spraying water at them when they block or sink the docks.

Info, stories below.

Sea lions are not typically aggressive towards humans. Sea lions are protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, which forbids humans from approaching them. The law requires us to observe them from afar to avoid causing stress to the animals.
Sea lions have blocked people from mooring their boats. In other cases, commercial fishermen have had to run through a sea lion gauntlet just to get onto their vessels. The sea lions even snatched a few pet dogs right off the piers,
“If a person is walking down the dock and they have a bag in their hand, that sea lion in its mind might think that person has food and can get aggressive because some people have been feeding them
