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. Hence the term “overfished.” Hence the mandated knee jerk reaction of the fisheries managers to not enough fish; cut back on fishing. What of other factors? They don’t count. 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.

Forage Fish now you’re talking real Eco-system issues!!! I hope this is nothing more than foreplay, feel good lies!!!
Sand Lance on the East-coast is an extremely important Forage Fish for nearly 100 species from Shore Birds to Humpback Whales!!!
They live right in the Sand and Gravel where the Wind Turbines and High Voltage Lines are run. With little to no EMF Shielding!!! Electromagnetic fields cancer causing levels. TESTING NEEDS TO BE DONE THIS SPECIES IS EXREMELY VITAL!!!

As you can see above
I spoke of Humpback Whales love of Sand Lance!!! They litterely dredge the Sand and Gravel to eat the Sand Lance after they get rousted from their Beds providing the High Voltage Power-Lines and their EMF hadn’t already driven them away!!! You can see the scars on the Humpbacks faces from scraping the Bottom on this Link!!! I wonder how a mouthful of exposed High Voltage Power-Line would taste??? Block Island still has a $30-$40 million cable reburying!!! https://concsiousbreathadventure.com/blogs/what-do-humpback-whales-eat-part-2-sand-lance/

Lets try this one!!!

I GIVE UP GOOGLE “”WHAT DO HUMPBACK WHALES EAT???”
PART 2 IS THE SAND LANCE AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FORAGE FISH ON THE EAST COAST!!! THEY ARE NORMALLY LEFT OFF OF THE SURVEYS AS ARE INVASIVE EUROPEAN GREEN CRABS!!! WHEN THEY DO THEIR WIND TURBINE SPECIES SURVEYS!!!
