Sea Lions

The government responds to sea lions eating salmon with severe measures.
West coast sea lions now number 300,000 strong and must travel farther afield for food. That has brought record numbers to the Columbia River. Government and tribal biologists believe the sea lions eat too many endangered salmon. They now have permits to harass and kill the sea mammals. Sea lion advocates believe sea lions kill a fraction of the salmon killed by the impacts of hydro-electric dams
