For a long time we have believed (pretended) that the ocean was a big black box. If anything bad happened to fish it was Ocean Conditions. Anything good, beyond magnificent management, was Ocean Conditions. Yet, we never really looked at the North Pacific to understand it in a holistic way. We, the humans, just kept sucking resources out, dumping in pollutants, and so on. There is a big bill we have been building up, and it is coming due.
