Also three cheers for Jeff Hutchings of Dalhousie Univ. Biology for =
speaking out against this cull. Jeff is a champion for marine =
biodiversity, and he maintains, among other things, that marine =
ecosystems are complex, involving many components of food webs etc., so =
the outcome of a cull is unpredictable and will not be measurable in any =
way in any case. This will not be any kind of properly designed real =
experiment -- the same probably applies to the recent controversy on =
"fertilizing the ocean" on the West Coast off the Queen Charlotte =
Islands with powdered iron sulphate, in attempt to cause a bloom of =
phytoplankton to both help wild salmon and absorb some of our massive =
amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide. See last Saturday's "Quirks and =
Quarks" show at cbc.ca/quirks/ for some discussion of this attempt at =
geo-engineering or ocean fertilization.
On the radio today, Jeff H. pessimistically guessed that there was a =
good chance that the Canadian Senate will allow this proposed cull of =
grey seals to go ahead. Perhaps their decision has already been =
announced?
Cheers? from Jim in Wolfville.
