On the grey seal, I'll say this. I bought my first lobster licence in 1957 and have fished out of the same harbour all of those years. Two years ago, I saw my first herd of grey seals in my lifetime. They have spread this far west, and they were there. Now, whether they eat lobster, I do not know. I know they didn't bother my traps to take the frozen herring, the bait and stuff, that was in the traps, but they lived on something, because they're huge animals. They were prolific. Everywhere you looked, they were around you.
If they're living on groundfish, then they're doing tremendous damage to those groundfish stocks. We're talking of animals that are the length of these tables and longer, the males at least. You don't get to be a structure like this—the table—unless you eat.
