Summary
This bill amends the Marine Mammal Protection Act to authorize the lethal removal of pinnipeds (seals and sea lions) in the Columbia River and Washington State waters to protect endangered and threatened salmon species and other fish. It expands the geographic scope and duration of existing pinniped removal authority, establishes a technology accelerator program to develop non-lethal pinniped exclusion methods, and requires annual reporting to Congress on pinniped populations and their impact on fish recovery. The lethal removal authority is subject to a 5-year review, after which it may be suspended if the Secretary determines it is no longer necessary.
