The regulations apply to people who initiate feeding, touching or swimming with a marine mammal.

..."one similar incident: a B.C. sport fisherman was bitten by a harbour seal as he tried to release a juvenile salmon into the water"...


Perhaps one should not practice catch & release on the race anymore, .......that's IF you can actually get your fish back to the sand.
