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.

Iron could set off the pH, and can be destructive to coral and other sea life. Iron dumping might deplete oxygen from the ocean and atmosphere. Russ George is suspected of investment schemes ranging from carbon credits, solar scams, Cold Fusion scams. His offices have been rated by authorities, and he has been fired.

Iron could set off the pH, and can be destructive to coral and other sea life. Iron dumping might deplete oxygen from the ocean and atmosphere. Shortly after the rogue “scientists” dumped tons of iron in the ocean, rare species, like the sabertooth whale washed up on East Coast beaches. Oar fish that normally are only found in deep ocean, started washing up on the America East Coast. Scientific studies should be done to evaluate the risks, before tons of iron are recklessly dumped into the ocean killing off wildlife.
