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.

In Oregon, our police and firefighters are using communications equipment that dates back 30-plus years.

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.

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