Thank you for the question. I appreciate it.
Our first initiative would be to get the baseline data and the information on the population—that's what we want to do—and then determine if they're overpopulated. I don't think we have that information at this point. If there was a surplus of pinnipeds available, we would look at harvesting. That would also contribute to saving many of the salmon that my friend Jesse and others were talking about.
In terms of the proactive work to be done with our U.S. counterparts, I'd love to do that work on the Pacific Salmon Treaty. We are often working with tribal groups down there. As well, we have the Coast Salish Gathering, which is 54 first nations and tribes within the Pacific northwest.
All that is to say is we can learn from one another, and we must learn from one another and utilize that into the future.
