Eric you do not truly believe if we humans kill off Orca there will end up being more salmon ?
I do agree that when we kill off the wolf , the tiger, the bears we will be left eating ants, probably flying fire ants at that.
Using salmon as an example its humans that have devastated there population. Not just in consumption but devastating the environment needed to reproduce. Fact.
We know that by killing off parts of any ecosystem the system begins to fail. fact
We also know that humans have the ability to change the world quickly today, to unbalance what took millions of years. Fact
I am yet not sold that our way is the better way for the planet and or humans. Fact
I am old and grumpy and fortunate to have seen what I have. Orca beside the boat looking up at us while we looked down. Watched them hunt through Rock Bay. Fished beside them off Sooke. Sad that most will only ever see such from the comfort of there condo in the sky. After work or while on the computer paying bills for a break.
To sit off the west side of Vancouver island in a boat, power off at night and hear the blows the smell of the breath of a couple of humpback whales. Watch the tail of a gray whale rise before you just take's my breath away.
I would miss the seals that entertain us here at the marina.
Eric what is your vision, if you find little value in what we have ?
