4/3/2006 - Sea Lion Rebound Brings Frustrations
April 03, 2006
On the weekend of April 1st, fish and wildlife officers started a new campaign to keep hungry sea lions from decimating the salmon migration up the Columbia River.
For the next two months, officers in boats will attempt to drive the predators away from Bonneville Dam with firecrackers and noisemakers. The sea lion population on the West Coast has quadrupled since hunting stopped some thirty years ago.
Debate is heating up all along the Northwest coast about how to control the beasts. Correspondent Tom Banse reports.
