Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Rose, in your opening remarks, you said that climate change would drive more migration north, with the expansion of populations of piscivorous pinnipeds on both coasts, namely California sea lions on the west coast and grey seals on the east coast.
I would like to hear you tell us more about the impact of climate change on pinnipeds. The hunt usually takes place from November to December. Is that still true? As we know, the ideal hunting season is now January to March, possibly due to climate change.
Do you think the dates should be adjusted?
Could you elaborate on the consequences of climate change?
