East Coast Seals...

Seems fishermen on both coasts have taken issue with growing, protected seal numbers. Fishermen in my old stomping grounds in Massachusetts are blaming dwindling fish populations on the exploding gray seal population. STORY

Predators are often the most obvious suspects when human economics and wildlife management practices collide. In the fishing industry, major fish population problems are usually created by commercial overfishing and poor fish management practices. Seal and fish populations have existed in harmony and balance for centuries. Commercial fishing is the new variable in the foodchain equation.
