It’s a balancing act. Influential players are the Chamber of Commerce and the save the sharks and seals (at the same time) naturalists.
I keep thinking the movie, “Jaws.”

When I think of some of the various groups affected by the sharks and seals; fishermen, business owners, bathers, surfers, tourists , biologists, property owners, seal haters shark haters, seal lovers, shark lovers, businesses that can make money on miigations, politicians, shark viewing boats etc.

You can see any public meetings to address the seal shark issue is going to be very contentious. - Tom
