Bill passes to allow killing sea lions The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife this month be- gan the process of lethal removal of California sea lions from the Willamette River. Officials say the animals in the river pose a risk to certain species of fish. Although they have been given the go-ahead to remove some of the sea lions, officials say there are still some federally-mandated cri- teria they’re going to have to fol- low to do that. An ODFW spokesperson says for specialists to euthanize a sea lion, they must first spot it eating a salmonid, which includes salmon and trout, or the animal must be spotted over two days’ time in the Willamette between Willamette Falls and the mouth of the Clackamas. In a related develop- ment: Congress agreed this month to make it easier to kill sea lions threatening fragile runs of salmon in the Northwest. Jaime Pinkham, executive direc- tor of the Columbia River Inter- Tribal Fish Commission, said in a statement that he was “grateful Congress worked in a bipartisan manner to give us the local flexibil- ity to protect the tribal treaty re- sources we share with others in the Columbia and Willamette rivers.” Mr. Pinkham noted also that the sea lions are just one of a number perils facing the salmon and steel- head. There are several thousand Cali- fornia sea lions in the Columbia River estuary; between 200 to 300 swim 100 or more miles upriver from the ocean. The upriver sea lions would be the ones eligible for removal. Tribes, PGE continue habitat restoration The Confederated Tribes and Portland General Electric have helped restore many miles of riv- ers and streams for the benefit of fish habitat. The need for these projects is reflected in the 2005 Federal En- erg y Regulator y Commission (FERC) license to operate the Pelton-Round Butte hydro system. Since becoming joint owner- operators of the hydro dams, the tribes and PGE have helped pro- tect miles of rivers and streams, over an area of more than 14,000 acres, according to PGE. Forty- five projects have been completed so far, with funding at more than $60 million. Projects have included the re- moval or improvement of 17 fish barriers, and the restoration of 51 cubic feet of water to river flows. Work has included installation of close to 70 miles of riparian fencing. The tribes and PGE are now accepting applications for a new round of projects. Applica- tions will be accepted through March 1.
