Sorry they are not worth talking to , for they think their info. is written in stone despite the fishermans info which comes from daily perception !!! Fish stocks are not always the prime subject in the fishing debate, for we are being eliminated though many strategies in the comm. fishing bus. are ecologically sound!
pollution, thank god this was mentioned , for the comm. fisherman are the entirety of the blame on fish pops. even though our rivers and streams and sounds are being polluted to the point our fish are unable to reproduce, yet fisherman get all the blame !!!! THANK you for mentioning pollution in regards to my
living !!!! Not all bodies of water are exploited, for i fish the same waters year after year for over 15 years and have not seen a reduction in fish pops.
I would like to know where your data is collected, from documents on landings ? Which would be false data, for there is much variable change to account for due to landings on fish species !!! IF any inquiries send me a message and i will explain the corruption in much data on populations !!!
All this information comes directly from the folks from the Seafood Watch Program at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Maybe contact them? They have a channel here on YouTube, maybe try there.
it's not necessary to understand the entire web of life in the oceans to keep from destroying them--humans didn't understand the science for 99% of their existence, yet the oceans were fine
in england they stopped fishing and surprise surprise the ocean recovered in that area
the key word she used was "industry"
it's not "we", it's not "humans,"--it's industrial civilization that is destroying the ocean (and the planet)
penniless - I agree, industry is key here also. Not only has mucked up agriculture, it has got its greedy hands on aquaculture too. Doesn't surprise me that the fish you refer to recovered. Now the concern is it not too late for certain species? Even putting them on an endangered list only does so much -> poachers slip in, catch what they want, and find a market to sell it in.
What I came away with from Ms. Barratt, was to eat lower on the food chain. Keep away from the lions/tigers of the sea (bluefin tuna/shark) and eat sardines, herring, and/or mackeral (for example) instead. Now if I can only get them in my local market. That's my next step, I guess.
I visited the "Cannery" in San Francisco in the 70's. They canned a large sardine that was so plentiful they thought they could never exhaust the supply. Until one day they weren't any left. Now there are just photos left to show the masses of the silvery fish and the Cannery is a collection of restuarants and shops.
I hope we come to our senses before it's too late.
Believe or not they still fish for sardines in the area - they just don't bring them into Monterey anymore. I attended a conference that was held there recently, Cooking for Solutions 2009, and a senior science manager from the Aquarium's Sustainable Seafood Initiative shared a story ( cookingupastory[dot]com/show/sardines-sustainable-food-to-feed-the-world/ ) about the sardines being caught off the coast in Monterey -> that 90% of them were fed to tuna!
Now, that didn't make a lot of sense to me; why not market some of them to be sold as fresh fish? As I found out, we need to learn to eat further down the food chain. As you so aptly put it, HighPlainsWoman, "I hope we come to our senses before it's too late."

thank you for this, cooking
but it's not all that complex
it's not necessary to understand the entire web of life in the oceans to keep from destroying them--humans didn't understand the science for 99% of their existence, yet the oceans were fine

it's a system based on production for profit, not production for use
