At some point in your Marine Conservation Career, you will face the question of whether one species is worth more than the other. Science alone will not be able to answer the question. A team of interdisciplinary scientists may be able to answer the question; however, the results may not agree with the moral stance from the public.

The article that I cover today explores this idea using grey seals and cod on the Atlantic coast as an example.
