We can’t win if we don’t fight! “Save the Oceans” – Not from “overfishing”, but from GREED!
This is a response (and hopefully an alternative) to the position of “Well, it’s coming anyway, it’s inevitable; so’s we might as well take whatever we can get out of it…go on home, and call it good” In fact, we probably won’t survive at all…if we don’t fight. Are we willing to give over our fisheries to the barnstorming energy industrialists looking for a new pair of financial roller skates? Are we willing to let them turn our fishing grounds into oilfields and windfarms, where for “security reasons” they’ll install multi-mile buffer zones preventing any and all craft from entering—except the “officially authorized” of course? Are we willing to let a bunch of Conservation Law Foundation lawyers take over our fisheries management and influence public opinion and cowed officials to regulate fishing into oblivion? . click here to read the story 15:49

I couldn’t agree more. It is too bad that the corporate news and the foundations have such a big bullhorn that they can shout down the truth so handily. Being heard isn’t easy, getting folks to care about something that doesn’t affect their own hides for more than a moment is even harder.
