Comprehensive Seal Study About to Begin

[JohnnyD]

Harbor Seals? The Grey Seals are the real problem.

Watch, they do this survey/study and determine that the seals will "require" total access to many of the fishing shorelines around the cape for BREEDING grounds, and that THEY have precedent over the beach and fishermen can go pound sand!

I'd rather have them do a study on how a seal can best be cooked!
That would be a better option.

Scientist Discover Seals are Cause of Right Whale Decline
By John Falsehood (Herald News)

Scientists have recently discovered that seals have contributed to the demise of Right Whales. Last November area marine biologists witnessed colonies of seals attacking individual Right Whales as they migrated into Cape Cod Bay waters. The attacks were so severe that many Right Whales were killed. The disappearance of Right Whales has long been blamed on entanglements with commercial fishing gear and collisions with merchant ships in shipping lanes. But now Marine Biologists are saying that seals may in fact be responsible for declining numbers of Right Whales. When asked why seals would attack the whales noted Marine Biologist, Mr. Indablu Vater, said, “Seals are very territorial and do not like any other mammal to eat their food supply or live in the same sand beach areas the Cape is known for.” “They’ve already driven away the striped bass and bluefish and now they’re trying to drive away the Right Whales”, Vater continued.

But this development leaves area scientists with a conundrum as to which species to now protect. If seals, which are protected, are now killing Right Whales which are also protected, who should man help protect?

Vater, says that Piping Plovers may just be the answer. “Plover numbers are now exploding and it has long been known that seals are deathly afraid of the tiny birds, kind of like elephants being afraid of mice,” Vater mused.

But what should authorities do about the plovers if they start harassing the protected seals? Vater looked into the eye of this reporter and answered, “That’s where the Coyotes come into play.” “Mass Wildlife has a wonderful Coyote stocking program that has been able to control the plover population for years, they’ll just have to bring more Coyotes to the Cape.”

I was hoping we could blame the seals for harming the plovers... Then we'd get the plover police to get rid of the seals....

I'm hoping the Cape Wind wind farm slices and dices the migrating flocks of plovers.

they have also driven away the humans
