Of that total, three were on the list for removal – having been observed at the dam on multiple occasions eating salmon and steelhead -- and were euthanized. Four were branded and released. The effort, which began early this month, resulted in the capture of five California sea lions April 15, all of which were branded for future identification purposes and released. Six of the big animals had been trapped the previous day and euthanized. (See CBB, April 18, 2014, “Spring Ritual: States Begin Trapping, Euthanizing Sea Lions Feasting On Chinook At Bonneville Dam” http://www.cbbulletin.com/430459.aspx) In March 2012, NOAA Marine Fisheries issued a letter authorizing the states to remove specific California sea lions observed eating salmon and steelhead in the Columbia River.

They are a major problem that is getting worse. The numbers keep growing. I fear nothing significant will be done until someone gets hurt or worse. There is a picture of a marina being taken over in Astoria. Its going to be a problem this summer during the bouy 10 season. They have no fear of humans or boats.

The "managers" of this system need to learn how it's done.
