SHOOT THE SEA LIONS -- NMFS
The National Marine Fisheries Service on 3/28 recommended that
Congress allow the shooting of sea lions in California, Oregon and
Washington to protect endangered salmon. The recommendation "marks
the first time that a federal agency has broadly agreed with fisher[s]
that there are too many sea lions and not enough salmon in Pacific
waters." Sea lions are protected under the Marine Mammal Protection
Act (Paul Rodgers, SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS, 3/29).
