I am asking everyone to think for a moment in terms of geologic time.

An eye blink ago in geologic history there were no old growth forests on the OP, no steelhead on the OP etc. etc.

Os -

Since you seem familiar with history of ice ages, you know that we are overdue for another one. The preponderent theory right now is that the trigger for ice ages is global warming, naturally caused in the past. Large chunks of the greenland ice cap fall into the North Atlantic and act like ice cubes, cooling the warm surface water that drives the convection engine of the oceans.

You might also know that these changes have occurred in LESS THAN 100 YEARS. So the fishing 'resource' might be here for the next generation or the next ten....massive cyclical climate change is not theoretical, its certain.

Aunty-

Your beautiful grandkids may have an opportunity to enjoy fishing as much as you or I, in fact I would say that it is likely. Somewhere down the line however our environment is in for drastic changes. Do you disagree?
