r Spily^y Tymoo, Warm Springs, Oregon P^ge 3 October 19,.2011 House bill to protect salmon, reduce sea lions B y D u ran B obb Spi/yay Tymoo A U.S. House o f Represen tatives committee, on a biparti san 29-13 v ote, ap p ro v ed a measure earlier this month that would speed up the application process necessary for tribal and state authorities to obtain a per mit to kill up to 10 sea lions a year. The Army Corp o f Engineers estimated that sea lions ate more than 5,000 adult male salmon in 2010, or 4 percent o f the salmon run. The approved measure, HR 3069, says, “The population o f California sea lions has increased 6-fold over the last three de cades, and is currently greater than 250,000 animals.” In recent years, more than 1,000 California sea Hons have been foraging in the lower 145 miles o f the Columbia River up to Bonneville Dam during the peak spring salmonid run, be fore returning to California to mate. “ I ’ve had a lot o f reports over this,” Bruce Jim , chairman o f the Warm Springs Fish and WildHfe Committee said. “ Especially in the early part o f summer,” Jim said. “ It got to the point where I started handing out sea Hon bombs for the fishermen to throw. This spring, if you go down, you’ll see it... sea Hons in action right where our tribal fishermen are working.” Last December, an indepen dent task force recommended lethally removing more o f the animals. And by August o f this year, Oregon, Washington and Idaho applied for permits for the lethal removal o f sea Hons. Specifically mentioned in the measure, entities eHgible to ap- ‘ These are our trad i tio n al hunting values, whether its sea lions or any other species th at once sustain ed our people. 9 ply for a permit would be the Confederated Tribes o f Warm S p rin g s, the C o n fe d e rate d Tribes o f the Umatilla Indian Reservation, the Confederated T rib es and B an d s o f the Yakama Nation, the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commis sion, and the states o f Oregon, W ashington and Idaho. The National Environmental PoHcy Act would not apply, if the bill passes. A pplications for a perm it would be submitted to the Sec retary o f C o m m erce, who would then have 30 days to ap prove or deny. I f approved, a permit would be good for one year after the date it was issued, but may be renewed. “This aU ties in with the pack- age,” Jim said. “These are our trad itio n al h untin g v alu es, whether its sea Hons or any other species that once sustained our people.” According to Jim, at one time the River People used the en tire animal. “The hide was used as a wrapping during burial,” he said. “ But we made all kinds o f implements out o f the seal. The fur was used, the meat was pre pared in a specific way. Even the insides were used.” HR 3069 now goes to the House floor. I f it is passed, the Secretary would continue issu ing permits for five years. I f it is determined that removal is no longer necessary to protect the salmon, the program would then be suspended. “ I think the tribe will be ap plying for a permit to kill,” Jim said. “ Starting out with at least three or fo u r p erm its. O ur people want the fur. O thers might be able to teach how you take care o f the meat.” B a ck in 2 0 0 8 , a fe d e ra l court struck down a program that allowed Oregon, Washing ton and Idaho to rem ove up to 85 sea Hons per year. From 2008 to 2010, 40 animals were removed. “We’re going to have to wait and see how this bill goes,” Jim said. “There will be constraints put on the tribes on the hunting part o f it, I’m sure. We don’t want to release 10 hunters to go down and gather them and then find ourselves in court.” I f the biU passes, the Fish and WildHfe Committee would com plete the appHcation for a per mit.
