We saw a seal last year 125 kilometres from the ocean. That's a bit high in the system. It stayed there for the summer, so you can imagine what it was eating. I tried to get a permit and to notify DFO that maybe we should harvest that seal because it would do damage all summer, but with the red tape I had to go through, I couldn't get the permit. I would have had to ask a commercial licence-holder from, maybe, the Acadian Peninsula to submit the request for a permit saying that it was causing damage to his own fishery.
It was a bit of a problem, and it's now common to see seals at the mouth of the Restigouche River every year.
