Title
Presentation by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries (NOAA Fisheries) Regarding Sea Lion Deterrents (This item may be continued to a future meeting due to the Federal Government shutdown)
Recommendation
As part of the City’s Harbor Department, staff works closely with vessel and property owners regarding sea lion deterrents. Sea Lions have an active season within the harbor and NOAA will provide the Harbor Commission with options for sea lion deterrents.
Recommendation:
1) Find this action exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
2) Receive and file and if appropriate provide direction to staff.
