PREDATORY BIRDS – States findings of the Legislature and supports curtailment of the pelican population.

This bill is a joint memorial from the Idaho Legislature that formally requests the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to reduce the number of pelicans in Idaho. It argues that the pelican population has grown too large and is negatively impacting local fish populations and fishing-related businesses. The document asks the federal government to allow measures to control the bird population and to provide financial compensation to the state for resource losses. This is a non-binding resolution intended to communicate Idaho's concerns to federal officials rather than create new laws.
