Well, Well, Well.
I just checked in and read the post, and sorry, I cant even ACT as though I'm too surprised or sympathetic.
Fact of the matter is that it's time someone woke up and smelled the coffee. Although the article is biased toward the plight of commercial fishermen, Its about time they all realized the extent of overharvest by high seas / offshore / international fishers, and honestly revisited their lack of concern for reproductive cycles & maturation periods of their prey.
I read a great deal of whining about "the loss of a lifestyle" in the article. I fail to understand why commercial fishermen should feel so special that they should be exempt from the laws of nature...or economics. Seems to me that all through history, people have had to adapt to changing economics due to improper planning: In the Southern U.S., didnt farmers have to switch to growing peanuts, because cotton depleted the soil? I truly dont remember the details, but it was something along that line. So what's the difference? That was then, this is now, and then it was someone else, now it's me??
I could rave on, but I'm gonna get outta here before this pot of coffee gets the best of me.
