We also reduce the fisheries on forage species so they have something to eat. That's short term, to see if we can prevent extinction.

Then, we restore the marine and freshwater habitats so that the ecosystem produces enough to support the consumption we demand for whales, pinnipeds, and humans. This is the long term end of things where we get the populations to the chosen level.



Seems reasonable to me gotta be willing to give to receive. Just wish everyone could agree on giving equally.
