My fear is that we are so awesome at ecosystem management that we could kill every seal, sea lion, porpoise, cormorant, merganser, and kingfisher in the entire Puget Sound Region, there would be an immediate measureable increase in salmon populations, which we would then immediately as feasible harvest right down to where we are now.

Why? That's the pattern that man has shown it is best at, all over the world in every culture.

Fish on...
