Boy I'd like to see seagulls get decimated...
Last fall I was wondering if I could get away with calling them "snow geese"
and blasting a couple however its illegal to "knowingly kill" waterfowl without
intent to eat them.
Back when I first got out of high school I worked on a landfill closure
project. Sea gulls were the only birds that would let themselves freeze to the
ground. They'd sleep in a puddle which would skim over with ice and they'd wake
up trapped...

The area between Martha's vineyard and Block island is hardly what I'd
call offshore. It is historically a rich man's playground. It is more
like a sound: water behind a barrier island. There are lots of
seabirds in areas like this. Gulls, pelicans, and lots of other birds
will be in the area, and thus decimated. They have no idea what the
impact of feathered populations will be, and whatever data they DO have,
they hide. Thus the use of weasel words: "Will be negligible"
