Smalma gave us three factors contributing to orca decline. That means we can completely ignore one or more of those factors and still be taking reasonable conservation measures. Because "food" means kings in this context (which is a food for which humans will pay dearly), it seems the natural factor to ignore for an agency under the Dept. Of Commerce umbrella.
