These Sea Lions are just below the dam's spillway. Stellar Sea Lions are Endangered so are protected. But they Love to eat Salmon. They hang out here and have a feast. The Chinook and Coho are not protected but their numbers are falling. What is the solution to the situation?![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEQ0EyG7vnTlPqJhlybnPPMwMj-2lKXA811nzycUVzIAtZMgAm1PPVBtdkQ5c5nx-sV9SgZpNnTO_M6A3daDzwozqRY53KzG70WHrplNcOeXhLCbcsCmSRSgOyBks74QcoT_TcHvTVxaI/s320/sealion+1.jpg)

Sea Lions aren't the only threat to numbers of Salmon. A big one is, of course dams. Dams block or at least inhibit the migration of the fish to their spawning grounds. Fish ladders are man-made concrete "streams" that offer flowing water to go around the dams. They're good but truthfully, they are not the same as a river without a dam. Again, the solution is complex and maybe unobtainable.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgbJwDCHUXH_WYB6-ijrz0rqnOsLykVFwub6Tg75ePUQbpV6QcznfNuWji_X3XeNmZD08R1XsSXzlCj3QD8o7CCOUe1oRzVpZRkTpk8JRbwElHWVl_a8-fKx3TAbFDAc9kxdXg0PxZqWM/s320/sealion+2.jpg)
