Bill overview
This bill aims to protect fish populations at the Bonneville Dam by deterring pinniped predators, such as seals and sea lions, from returning to the area. It directs the Secretary of the Army to acquire and implement acoustic technology that emits sounds to discourage these predators. The bill specifically prohibits the use of underwater firecrackers or similar disruptive methods. Funding of $400,000 is authorized to cover the costs of this technology.
