Federal and Multnomah County law enforcement officers reportedly are investigating a boat that apparently targeted sea lions on the Columbia River at high speed.

A video on Twitter showed the boat charging repeatedly at surfaced sea lions, and KGW reported that federal and county authorities were investigating. Officials from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Multnomah County did not immediately respond to messages left by The Oregonian/OregonLive on Tuesday evening.

While deterring sea lions during sportfishing excursions is legal, within strict guidelines, targeting them is not.
