We would have no regulatory authority over anything other than native wildlife. This would throw our whole wildlife-integrity plan into chaos.

We urge people looking for a quick fix to this problem to be realistic. This process is neither quick, nor a good permanent fix. Resolving the sea lion issue and protecting Oregon's fish stocks will require an act of Congress, not an act of this commission. However, we realize this is a serious problem and seeking federal authority to manage it is an important step in the right direction.

And then with the Pacific States (Marine Fisheries Commission), to look to the appropriate amendments to federal law. Knowing that it takes an act of Congress rather than an act of the commission.

Congress has given us the authority to set safety standards. We're merely restating our authority. We're the agency that sets standards. Our standards are not minimum standards.

I have deep roots here. It's going to be a great area for trails and wildlife.

When we get involved is when there is evidence that it has been illegally used to illegally kill wildlife. The most common misuse around is against coyotes. The problem is that anything a coyote will eat, so will eagles, hawks and owls and it will kill them.
