Sea lions are way more mobile on land than seals--that's part of what makes them kind of scary! (I've been swimming with young ones, and they're pretty safe--but still made me a little nervous, because they swim SO MUCH BETTER than you and also have lots of sharp teeth.) Seal and sea lion mermaids would be really near-sighted in air. It might make them nervous.
