Coyote Alert The California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Presidio of Monterey Natural Resource Program Manager, April Andujar, have been receiving an increase in reports of coyotes, raccoons, and even mountain lions observed near homes and barracks during the day. We live in what is known as a Wildland Urban Interface. Our housing areas are all bordered by wildland. This means that wild animals will always be frequent visitors to our housing areas. The important as...pect is that we want these animals to remain wild and not feel comfortable to take up residence in our urban environment. This is called being habituated and means these animals have lost their fear of humans. This can and already has led to an increase in conflicts between wildlife, humans, and their pets. Ms. Andujar, with the approval of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, is encouraging residents to begin a coyote hazing program. This will discourage coyotes from feeling comfortable in our housing areas. If you see a coyote near your home, please take the following actions: 1. Make eye contact with the coyote. If there is more than one focus on the lead animal. Do not turn your back on the coyote or run away. Make sure the coyote has an escape route away from you. 2. Shout Go away, wave your arms, and stomp your feet. 3. Use noise makers, whistles, or spray water from a hose at the coyote. 4. If you can safely reach for sticks or rocks, throw them in the direction of the coyote. Do not try to hit the coyote as that may cause them to become more aggressive. 5. The coyote might only move 10-15 feet away at first then turn and look back to you. Continue to haze until they leave the area. 6. Do not haze a sick or injured animal, or a mother with pups. 7. Hazing is a community effort, encourage your neighbors and co-workers to haze. Everyone should vary their hazing techniques. Videos demonstrating hazing techniques are available on the Presidio of Monterey Environmental Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/POMEnvironmental). You may also contact us on this Facebook page for any questions. As a reminder, Command Policy Letter #27 prohibits the feeding of feral cats and all wildlife. Feeding of wildlife is also potentially subject to fines from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. All wildlife is managed under the authority of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Only CDFW can make the decision to trap or issue a predation permit. The POM Police Department may only kill wildlife if they are posing an imminent danger to humans or domesticated pets. If that is the case please call 911 immediately.
