Appreciate the edification. I suppose even this thread of conversation eventually winds itself down to the discussion of resource management, what happend, whose to blame, how we manage it, etc... The comments about the trawlers stripping the seas admittedly make me more ill than a single whale taken by the Makahs. It would seem with balanced and fair management historically, now and in the future the situation we find ourselves in would cease to exist. But then I suppose I am dreamin'.
