It’s all about fishing, because fishing is all that the managers can control; it’s their Maslow’s Hammer. When it comes to the oceans it seems as if it’s about all that the industry connected mega-foundations that support the anti-fishing ENGOs with hundreds of millions of dollars a year in “donations” are interested in controlling.

Whitehoudse is another ENGO shill ramming windmills up everyones asses.
On top of that he was implicated in the insider trading scam that so convieniently allows or federal politicians to use inside information to fatten up their stock portfolio's legally. They are allowed to do the exact same thing that put Martha Stewart in jail. Of course Mr. Whitehouse knew nothing about it….yeah right.
He's gotta be in on the juice money for the blow hard windmill fairy dust bunch.
These bums have set themselve up, man.
