Personally, I think a targeted seal cull should be part of the solution. As
@Whole in the Water stated, this will be a tough sell to the public. IMO, it will require FN involvement, gov't buy-in, and some carefully worded messaging to explain to the public WHY it is needed (no chinook, no orcas, for instance). Anyways, will be interesting to see how this one plays out. I would think the rec fish, commerical and FN fisheries would all support initiatives aimed at improving juvenille salmon survival and if seal deterrents/culls are a means to do so there will be support for it. On the other hand, a lot of people (voters) will be outright livid if a cull were to take place. Will be a delicate dance.
