Greater Everglades ecosystem – Guest Column: Stop the harm – fund it now!

August 29, 2013 Gulf of Mexico

What’s going on with our water ? A wet spring and very wet early summer have delivered more rain than the greater Everglades ecosystem – that stretches from Orlando to Florida Bay, Fort Myers to Stuart – can hold.

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.
