Economic interest drives political will, and political will molds Federal agencies. It won't happen quickly, but if a majority of the local population begin to see the seal population explosion as a real threat to their safety, lifestyle, and income, then some sort of seal population control becomes a much greater possibility than presently exists. Slim chance I agree, but better than nothing which is what we have now.
