Congressman Young defends fisherman, and successfully amends the Southern Sea Otter Recovery and Research Act, by including a termination date for the program should the southern sea otter become a recovered species under the Endangered Species Act.
Also in this video, Chairman Rahall and other Members of the Committee wish Congressman Young a happy belated birthday.
"We have to evaluate the impact expansion of Sea otter population has on the fishing industry" What he is saying is that animals have to justify their existence against the economic interests of those in the fishing business, even though they are simply expanding back in to the waters they once inhabited before being over hunted by the same people who are fishing there now.
