Hi Everybody, Mel's last comment on the invasive species thread got me thinking about an article I just read in Fly Fisherman concerning seals & sea lions.
Basically there are movements to eliminate a chunk of the pinniped population because they feel they are too much competition for the salmon. Not living in the area I have no reference points for this or not. What are some of the thoughts of those of you who live in areas with seals/sea lions? Part of it scares me. Not from a "Oh, seals are so cute" standpoint but more from a "If we get rid of a bunch of seals then what impact will that have elsewhere that we don't know about?" Who knows, maybe seal poo is necessary to fertilize the kelp beds? ;-) So, just curious to see what people think who are affected (or not) by this. Ken
