Description:The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Fisheries Field Unit (FFU) has conducted surface observations to evaluate the seasonal presence, abundance, and predation activities of pinnipeds, including California sea lions (Zalophus californianus), Steller’s sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus), and harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) in the Bonneville Dam tailrace each year since 2002. This monitoring program was initiated in response to concerns over the potential impact of California sea lion (CSL) predation on adult salmonids passing Bonneville Dam in the spring, including spring Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and steelhead (O. mykiss). This report summarizes observations from 2008 through 2010.
