Astoria Oregon, sea lions and an "Orca"

Nothing but scorn in Astoria on the fake orca. The Port has tried a lot of different things. None has worked well. A couple have had partial success. The floats in that basin are unusable. All aside from the effects of sea lion predation on anadromous fish. Yes, they eat smelt, herring, and so forth, but the salmon toll is nasty. Not much sympathy for sea lions in this town. Unfortunately, somebody nailed a double handful with a large caliber handgun ... and the NOAA officers are chasing that down. Does not help. Just riles the PETA crowd.
