The U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) protects all marine mammals, including cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises), pinnipeds (seals and sea lions), sirenians (manatees and dugongs), sea otters, and polar bears within the waters of the United States.

The Act makes it illegal to "take" marine mammals without a permit. This means people may not harass, feed, hunt, capture, collect, or kill any marine mammal or part of a marine mammal.

....sew pretty sure wackin' a seal with a BB Gun is O.U.T of bounds.

Just sayin'.....

a seal getting on your kayak (to harass you or steal your fish) is out of bounds too, just sayin

So since we cannot feed them, I will go to any means so that my bait is not stolen off my hook and they won't get fed. I personally will make sure that I don't feed the seals 100% 😉
