PINNIPED PREDATION OF SALMONOIDS ON THE WASHINGTON PORTION OF THE SALISH SEA AND OUTER COAST

Here is Dr. Carl Walter’s statement on this extremely well written and documented study
QUOTE: The really KEY thing was NOT just recommending any more studies, but instead recognizing that such studies won’t prove anything and ONLY a large scale harvesting experiment will provide the needed understanding.
This is the first time for me that a major science group had the courage to admit that the standard “more studies” approach will just not work.
