At some point AK and BC will ask why the pinnipeds are allowed to be as numerous as they are. The evaluation has to be holistic, cover all the fisheries even the trawling with by catch and the forage-fish fisheries. And, somebody will have to answer for the pinnipeds.

In the end, I am afraid that some fisheries will be restricted a bit. especially the politically weak and ineffective ones, and the the SRKWs will arrive at zero breeding age females and become functionally extinct.
