ANNA REED / STATESMAN JOURNAL FILE Growers Continued from Page 1A a friendly reminder to let them know that inspec tions are happening and that if we catch you out of compliance, it could be as much as $200 a day.” Oregon politicians are worried that if they don’t keep a lid on marijuana flowing into the black market, the federal gov ernment will crack down. “Reporting to the Ore gon Medical Marijuana Online System is crucial in that it requires grow ers to report cannabis products going into or out of their site … which helps to prevent diver sion to the black market,” said Megan Lockwood, an Oregon Medical Mari juana Program manager. Lockwood said a re cent Oregon secretary of state audit identified tracking enforcement as an area the program needed to address to re duce diversion. The state said growers can expect a warning let Steelhead Continued from Page 1A The state was granted permission to kill Califor nia sea lions last Novem ber after a yearslong process in which the state argued the pinni peds were eating almost 25 percent of the steel head run and putting them in “imminent dan ger of going extinct.” ODFW has since re moved and euthanized 16 sea lions — including three Wednesday morn ing. The agency is al lowed to kill up to 93 per year. “We’re excited to see some of the best winter steelhead returns in re cent years,” said Dr. Shaun Clements, ODFW senior policy analyst. “We’re encouraged by the fish numbers and by the success in implementing the sea lion removal pro gram. We’ve definitely been able to reduce pre dation this year and pro vide some relief to the fish.” Is improvement significant and all about sea lion removal? The number of winter steelhead is still well be low normal. In the last 20 years, an average of 6,649 fish re turned to the upper river systems. And the runs have traditionally been impacted more by ocean conditions — and other issues like habitat and dams — than on sea lion predation. “It is important to un derstand that this uptick in numbers is very limit The dock where the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has sea lion traps set up, lower left, is just north of Willamette Falls, in Oregon City, where the sea lions have been consuming steelhead on their way to spawning grounds in the upper Willamette River Basin. DAVID DAVIS AND KELLY JORDAN / STATESMAN JOURNAL ed in comparison to the historic numbers,” said Travis Williams, execu tive director of Willam ette Riverkeeper. “It is also important to remind people that the main rea sons for the decline of our native fish is the impact of dams, habitat degra dation and hatcheries — not sea lions” Even so, Clements said the sea lion removal clearly played a role. He pointed out that winter steelhead runs were worse than last season across much of Oregon, but were higher on the Upper Willamette. “There are a lot of oth er factors involved — in cluding ocean conditions and upstream fish pas sage,” he said. “But by re moving sea lions, at least we’re giving them a chance.” Why sea lion lethal action v. removal? ODFW attempted to remove sea lions nonle thally for years, but the animals typically just re turned to the same loca tion, officials said previ ously. Part of the appeal is that Willamette Falls, in Oregon City, forces the fish into a tight area that makes them easy to pick off. ODFW said it killed the 11th sea lion on March 13, which meant “steel head were free to move through the lower river and over the falls without being preyed upon by sea lions for the first time in many years,” ODFW said. “Unfortunately, the re spite was shortlived, as more California sea lions have since moved into the area,” ODFW said in a news release. On March 22, two more sea lions were trapped and euthanized. On Wednesday morning, another three were killed, bringing the total number of California sea lions killed to 16. Officials said they ex pect to kill more sea lions during April, as the ani ter later this month with penalties of at least $200 going into effect in May. People must report monthly if they’re a des ignated grower for a pa tient other than them selves; if they’re growing for themselves at home but are transferring product to a processor or dispensary; and if they’re growing for themselves somewhere other than their home. Reporting rules don’t apply to patients growing for themselves at home. mals arrive at Willamette Falls to eat spring chi nook. In the past, any where from 30 to 50 sea lions made their way to Willamette Falls. How many sea lions are removed remains to be seen, but Clements said it would likely take 2 to 3 years before most of the animals were moved out. Don’t know reach that point, hoping after three years reached the oones habitilaty coming back. Maybe just 1 or 2, but don’t get big pulse of ani mals. 20 to 30. Probalem is, 1 or 2, learn from each other, you get more. Pret ty confident get on top of it. “We typically see an increase in sea lion abun dance at the falls in April as additional animals move in to feed on the more abundant spring Chinook,” Clements said. “We always expected it would take 2 to 3 years to fully manage predation at this site but we’re en couraged by the early re sults.” ODFW will get a final count on winter steel head at the end of May, when the spawning mi gration typically ends.
