If you're referring to a pinniped management plan, then yes, it would be an opportunity to control the population and its effect. That does not equate to a predator removal plan. It could be a change in how we still manage log booms in Canada on the west coast. It could be a factor of restoration of estuaries that are, to a very frequent extent, highly disrupted, so it removes the habitats that salmon, for example, use for protection and feeding.
As long as you're talking about a pinniped management plan that is not equivalent to an immediate harvest and removal, then I would agree with your statement.
