Hundreds Of Sea Lions To Be Killed In Plan To Save Fish

The NOAA Fisheries has approved a plan to manage the sea lion population in the Columbia River to protect salmon and steelhead from extinction. The plan allows for the controlled killing of sea lions using non-lethal methods over five years. While some support the plan, others, like the Humane Society, argue it won't solve the underlying issues affecting fish populations. Previous efforts to deter sea lions included non-lethal methods. The program's effectiveness will be monitored and reassessed in three years.
