Section 3471 Of Article 8. Management Of Wildlife At Public Use Airports From California Fish And Game Code >> Division 4. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 8.

. The Legislature recognizes that, in a public use airport's ongoing efforts to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the traveling public in compliance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations, and specifically Section 337 of Part 139 of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, it is necessary to perform limited and authorized wildlife hazing, harassment, and depredation. The Legislature further recognizes that FAA certificated public use airports and their wildlife hazard management staff must harass, haze, or perform removal of species to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public when authorized by a current, valid federal fish and wildlife depredation permit.
