I think "humane dispersion" refers to non-lethal means of controlling seal populations. One approach is to upset their haul-out and breeding areas. Seals like peace a quiet when pupping so if you constantly annoy them with loud sounds they won't set up shop there. However, I'm of the opinion that more proactive methods are needed, must like those used for deer populations.

	Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
