Seals find safe harbor on county board

Describes the Board of Supervisor's resolution to the county Fish and Game Advisory commission's request of the board to support deleting protections for California sea lions and Pacific harbor seals from the Marine Mammal Protection Act due to the mammals raiding fishermen's catches. Quotes various supervisors and audience members' opinions, including people from Save Our Shores and the Center for Marine Conservation, who asked for language that clearly stated the supervisors' opposition to lethal force.
