where did all the seals come from?

Partially, there's no point in complaining about it, they're not going to reinstitute hunting seals for a reward, ever.

If anything the DMF will handle their populations, but that even is a pipe dream.

WE/our past relatives screwed up the population of everything, and now we pay.

Just like the photos of giant mounds of striped bass being taken commercially, what? You think they were just gonna magically learn how to reproduce faster? I think not.

Honestly the division of marine fisheries along with the rest of the groups need to take a long hard look at all fisheries and start over again. Something really needs to be done soon especially with certain fish that don't have as much value as others having their populations explode and offsetting the stocks. At this rate, dogfish will replace striped bass in New England as the primary target.
