Sea lions driving Willamette
steelhead to extinction
Native winter steelhead trout in
the Willamette River could go ex-
tinct, if sea lions continue their
current pace of destruction.
This message came last week
from the Oregon Department of
Fish and Wildlife.
There is an 89 percent prob-
ability that at least one species of
the fish will go extinct in the near
future, without some kind of in-
tervention with the sea lions.
The sea lions congregate just
below Willamette Falls at the time
when the fish are moving upstream
to spawn.
In 2016-17, a record-low 512
steelhead made it past the falls and
upstream. As recently as the 1990s,
up to 15,000 of the fish were mak-
ing it past the falls.
Meanwhile, Northwest congres-
sional leaders are trying to give Or-
egon and Washington broader au-
thority to kill sea lions at Bonneville
Dam on the Columbia River.
This proposed law would also
apply to the sea lion logjam at
Willamette Falls in Oregon City.
At the Powwow
Warm Springs Recreation hosted the Super
Hero Jamboree Day by the Community Center
last week. There were water activities so the
young people could cool off from the heat.
There was live music, games, a rock climbing
pole, face painting, among many features. The
theme this year was Super Heroes.
