I agree, but it will never happen. Seals have gotten out of hand in the Sound and they are "not a problem", which really translates to: "they are protected, so we don't want to bark up that tree". You hear this crapola that seals aren't impacting salmon. Wait, whoah what do have I have here attatched to my 12lb blackmouth??? Sure looks like a seal to me. Introduce great whites into the Sound and you won't see as many cormorants.. Then again, you would see less fishermen, including me.

I am just picturing the look on all the tree-hugger's faces the first time they saw a big old great white take out an unsuspecting seal. Priceless!

About 15 years ago I was a marine bio in training at the Pt. Defiance aquarium, working summers there. The curator came back one day and he was white as a ghost, after leading an orca watching trip to the San Juan's. They came upon a pod of orca's feeding on seals and apparently several were knocked flying all the way into the boat....
I don't think they could justify a cormorant season as they are not edible.
