Karl F got it right (in both posts). There are just too many seals on the outer cape.

And, much as I'd like to see the problem solved in the way the Cape Ann lobstermen took care of it in the 40's and 50's (30/30's in every boat), We can't do anything that will endanger or restrict beach access any more than it is allready.

I think Flaptail has come closer to an answer than any other. I too attended those meetings at Monomoy last Spring and a study is needed by NMFS, but then all the big greens, PETA and the treehuggers will jump on it.

Looks like no easy answer.
