Hiada Gwaii experiment? Its been almost 10 years now. Does anyone know if any good research has occurred to determine if it worked? From what I can tell, there has been no major research into the long term effects. It almost appears that those with the ability to research it avoid doing so, as they are sure it will not work and do not want to find out otherwise, as it destroys their original Hypothesis.

It is kind of like what I discovered years ago with when I had to pay for an Bald Eagle impact assessment. The government had maps showing a full or near recovery, but would not fund a study to determine if it had occurred. Those in the field had no desire to claim success, as they could easily be out of a job. Over 25 years later and while they admit they likely are at full carrying capacity, no attempt to determine if this is true or if a reduction in protections is needed. Self preservation appears to be more important, at times, than actual science.
