monthly newsletter, September Action needed to help save sea lions! You can help protect the world’s largest sea lion, the Steller sea lion of the North Pacific, by telling the National Marine Fisheries Service to adopt the protective measures they have identified as needed for the species to survive. After years of delays and undue industry influence, NMFS released a Draft Biological Opinion (BiOP) on Steller sea lions on August 2nd. This new BiOp finds that commercial fishing is the most likely cause of sea lion declines in the western Aleutian Islands and their failure to recover in other areas. Fishing fleets are catching too much of the fish Steller sea lions need to eat for their survival. Take action and let the agency know you support their own conclusions and urge them to move forward and give Steller sea lions the protection they need. Be the Change!
