Battle of species pits protected sea lions vs. fragile fish

In this March 14, 2018, photo, a California sea lion peers out from a restraint nicknamed "The Squeeze" near Oregon City, Ore., as it is prepared for transport by truck to the Pacific Ocean about 130 miles away. The male sea lion was released south of Newport, Ore., in a program designed to reduce the threat to wild winter steelhead and spring chinook salmon in the Willamette River. Wildlife managers have asked permission form the federal government to begin killing California sea lions spotted eating those fish populations at Willamette Falls. (AP Photo/Gillian Flaccus)
