Sustainable. The tax drain of US taxpayers that pay for NMFS, CBD’s tax except status, and for frivolous lawsuits brought forth by the Bender and Bender of Environmental NGO’s. Apparently these nuts believe that NMFS should be sued over Ocean Acidification, Climate Change and Poaching? Read the press release here 21:42
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.

I mean, some of us self serving & greedy fishermen only want to blame poor creatures like those cute cuddly otters.
Please people, maybe if we promise to stop dumping our acidification into the ocean, maybe we can spare the NMFS the ignominy of this law suit. Remember please help out, urine this too, like it or not!
