The active management and removal of specific pinnipeds in specific locations on the Pacific coast have delivered measurable results for wild stocks. Endangered winter steelhead in Oregon's upper Willamette River system continue to show improved numbers this season, following the removal of 33 pinnipeds from the waters in 2019. We keep hearing from the government that they need to study the pinniped factor more.
Do you think that the proven results of active predator management in other jurisdictions could be achieved in our waters if we were to adopt active management of predator populations that have grown unchecked?
