On August 12, 2016 approximately 13 California sea lions were trapped and hot iron
branded in the East Mooring Basin in Astoria, Oregon.

ODFW and NMFS claim that trapping and  hot iron branding
does not hurt the sea lions and SLDB observers report otherwise.


The Sea lions have been hauling out in the East Mooring Basin
for over twenty five years. 

ODFW began trapping and branding sea lions in 1996.

In the Spring from March 15 through May 31
California sea lions are trapped and killed if identified
consuming one salmon in five years out of the Columbia River and for being in the area for five days below the Bonneville Dam.
