What technically defines a "stranded" sealion? Has this definition changed in recent years?
In any case, in situations like this it is best to let nature dictate the proper course of action. Nature has a pretty good batting average in terms of solving its own problems.
Ultimately I think George is right though, the fisherman will likely be the ones to blame. There will be a select group of secretly funded "scientists" who will determine that this problem has nothing to do with pollution, deforestation, or climate change and that the only solution will be to close more of the most productive fishing grounds that are in front of affluent people's houses or near future offshore drilling locations.
