And the science of such eco-system management is maybe not quite in its infancy, but certainly, its early childhood.

Personally, I often think the solution to a lot of these problems is to return nature to its starting point, and let nature take its course. For example, in much of Ohio, deer overpopulation is a big problem. My solution, re-introduce wolves and bears. Unfortunately, few citizens would go along with that idea.
