    I’m not so much concerned about how the Italians feel about this, but more so the implications of yet another human caused extinction. What will be the knock-on effects of the decline of this species?

      Sure but I’m saying harnessing then as a fishery is the best way to control or reverse this problem.

      Unfortunately, a 90% decline is not that unusual compared to many other ecosystems. While the effects in aggregate will be huge, the effects of one species will not be that notable relative to the rest of our environmental catastrophe.
