NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?
While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing.

Fishermen, the original and best Conservationists! Meanwhile the feds say it’s perfectly ok to wipe out bald eagles, as long as you use Wind Turbines to do it.
Just follow the money in this wind scam. According to AOC the world is going to end in 12 years so why bother?
