I am not bright enough to know the answer to that question but I don't think it wise for the population to be allowed to grow
untethered.
Brings to mind an interesting story. Back in the 80s there was a massive infestation of Gypsy Moths in my area. No one knew what to do about it. When I say massive I cannot fully describe the numbers but to give you an idea, they ate everything in site to the point where the forest was entirely defoliated. There were so many that, for some reason, they would mass on car tires at night. Now, these were still in the catapillar stage so your tires would look furry there were so many. On morning we got up and there were millions of them dead on the ground. The biologist said that there was so many that a virus developed and we had a total population collapse. Seems nature took care of the problem for us.
Perhaps that will happen with the seals.
