Description:When Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) were being considered for listing as endangered or threatened under the U. S. Endangered Species Act (ESA) in the late 1980s, there was no evidence to support geographic stock separation for the species. Consequently, the species was listed as threatened throughout its range even though sea lion populations in some areas were not at low levels or declining. A significant management issue resulting from the ESA listing of the Steller sea lion is the impact the Act's protective measures are having on commercial fisheries, particularly the fisheries for Pacific salmon and North Pacific groundfish.
