Idaho Legislature supports curtailment of pelican population due to overpopulation impacts on Idaho's ecosystems and fishing industry.

The Idaho Legislature finds that the pelican population, protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, has grown to impact Idaho's wetland ecosystems and fishing industry. The resolution urges the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to allow for a reduction in the pelican population and requests federal compensation for Idaho's resource losses due to pelican overpopulation.
