I strongly agree with Karl! Don't take any hasty actions on the beaches. They're just looking for a reason to shut us out. But we can lobby the powers that be to understand and take into account how the seals are impacting the coastal areas and fisheries.
There is a huge economic toll to be paid in those coastal areas if the seals drive away tourists (because they can't swim in the ocean) and fishermen.
However, just like I fear that wildlife management will not look at how the raccoons, skunks, crows, fox, and coyotes are devestating the piping plovers attempt to recover; they will refuse to see how the seals are negatively impacting the area, and will choose to blame humans for every problem they see.
