Sea Otter Relocation Sparks Coastal Clash Over Abalone
Federal officials plan airlift and relocation of sea otters along the California coast to protect the species from extinction. The project faces fierce resistance from commercial divers and fishermen who fear otters will deplete abalone and sea urchins. The plan targets a two-stage relocation starting 70 otters to San Nicolas Island, with a total aim of 250, at a $5 million federal cost.

Wisconsin Veto Cuts Environmental Programs in Budget
Gov. Tommy G. Thompson vetoed more than 30 environmental items from the 1987 89 budget. The Democratic Legislature can seek overrides when bills return. The veto would remove state efforts to study hundreds of toxic waste sites, a forest along the Wisconsin River, harbor cleanups, bonding for Ice Age Trail land, hazardous waste collection grants, and landfill fee studies. The Environmental Repair Fund faces funding shortages, and a proposed $3 per ton hazardous waste fee was struck down. A separate veto blocks $2 million for a state forest along the Wisconsin River corridor. A Missouri land donation to the USFWS aids Indiana Bats, with barriers planned at seven hibernation sites to protect the species.
