It is a combination of things. Habitat loss, predation, and many more factors. Most of which, if not all, is our fault. We threw everything out of balance. So if we want to keep enjoying this fishery, we need to balance things out.
And I’m sure I’m not the only person who would be willing to donate my time and shells to fix what we have broken. Look at what’s going on with the urchin population. We have organized dive hookups to help reduce the exploded population of urchin on our coast. So how is this any different? Just because they’re cute little birds and fluffy sea lions? And of course it’s not their fault the salmon fishery is going down the drain. They’re doing what they’ve been doing forever. But we are helping them do it and keeping them safe. There lies the imbalance.
And the meat would not go to waste. Many animal shelters accept wild game to help keep their animals fed.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but since I can remember, I was taught to take responsibility for my actions and to fix or replace what I have broken. Of course I’m not saying we directly are at fault, but people are to blame. So people need to fix it.
