    Another factor is endangered species. Sea lions are protected but prey on salmon. They typically destroy as much as they eat- just for fun. Another one people don't think about. Sea otters. They eat shellfish. Shellfish like sea urchins eat kelp. Kelp shelters cod. When there are large kelp beds, cod proliferate. Cod eat salmon fry by the ton. A kind of domino effect. This could be one of those places where, in order to save the world, you need to get rid of an environmentalist.
