A campaign just first be made to shine a light on the detrimental affects of an out of control seal population so people understand one thing... SEALS = BAD FOR CAPE COD.
Then you will have support instead of push back.
The blame for this shark attack ultimately lies with the seals

I think just the opposite, that the public is so pro seal they'll be fine with it regardless the problems that arise. They sure AF don't care about anglers.
As fishers we understand who goes where on the food chain. The general public won't care and 95% of them don't go to the back beaches anyway so there is not risk for them.
