They have been in Montauk for years already. They just don't stay around a long as they do in MA. |

Don't stay around as long? Do they ever actually leave the Cape? |

We actually protect the seals because they are more like us than the fish. Mammalism. We personify them as somewhat human because they are kinda like us. They breathe air, and sort of have some humanistic behaviors, therefore we are much more likely to protect them, then say a whiting....
Why do people get so fired up about whales and manatees, but could give two cents regarding a herring or an anchovy? Same principal, the more something is like you, the more you want to protect it.
IMHO far more damage has been done by dragger type vessels destroying habitat over more than a hundred years than any type of seal. seals are where they are now and hunt where they hunt now because we destroyed their other habitats. we knew of the dangers of dragger type fishing almost since its inception and yet the rampant destruction went on. has more to do with us as a species allowing it to go on than it does for the seal.
you want cod to live forever, well maybe you shouldn't have pulled a dragger over their grounds for a hundred plus years!
blame the seals, blame global warming, on and on it goes, only thing we truly have to blame is us.....

They stick around all summer here. If you look at them the wrong way...even buzz them with a plane you will be "attacked" by the wackos.
You will never get the environmental wackos to get on the culling the seal heard...never.
Our only hope would be that massive schools of Great Whites move in and wreck havoc with the swimming beaches to the point where a lot of people die. Once that happens (a few hundred are attacked on our beaches) then, maybe we can get community to re-open the seal season to thin them out.

i guess we need an environmental wacko season...2 per day, 28 inches, no closed season. the caliber must be .223 or larger. sunday hunting allowed. |

I saw seals last fall in Montauk. I wonder if there are more sharks in those waters to keep the numbers down. |
thats why they call it fishing not catching

save the blood !
every time you see seals -> throw some their way..
as sharks can smell a drop of blood from 5 kilometers away
which is a little over three miles..  |

just look at the amount of seals on the rocks of south africa where all those great white videos are taken. sharks are never going to control the seal population to a level that we as fisherman will be happy with. they, sharks, are not that plentiful and there would be no survival advantage to them to move in and wipe out the population. at most, just enough of them will move in to take advantage of the current population IMO.
montauk is warmer, that's why there are fewer seals there IMO.
