Future of Fishing?

The pollock population in Alaska's Bering Sea has dropped nearly 50% this year due to overfishing. The pollock is the basis of the Bering ecosystem and without it species like the endangered Steller sea lion and fur seals could disappear. Local fishermen depend on the Bering for survival as well. Visit greenpeace.org to take action now and help save the Bering Sea.

If you have anything to say Know what your talking about, this Fishery is managed by the State and the feds have thier hands in it to they have given the fishermen a very small area to fish in and continue to make it harder for them to make a living due to bycatch and other limitations, you the ones who need to be heard get off your asses get up there hit the docks and make a trip with someone and see what these guys go thru to make a living before you make a statement.

Depopulation of the entire human race (except for me) is the only answer. We must erase the human parasite plague which endlessly leeches upon our limited resources. We Greenpeace Elite shall eradicate Global Warming, snuffing out the human life whoes very breath suffocates our Goddess Earth. With your help, we'll create a better pandemic, a more lethal virus, a deadlier plague, in hopes that one day the disease called Humans, are utterly extinct. Because the world is a better place without YOU!

Commercial fishing companies and their employees are in a childish denial phase, they will go on untill the last fish has been caught,

Being an educated consumer doesn't make you a pussy.

Nobody has to be a "liberal" to care about the environment. Everbody would suffer from a disappearance of wild fish. Using a little self control when it comes to buying fish products will prevent the emptying of the oceans so that we will be able to enjoy eating fish for at least a few more generations. At current trends, these next few decades will be the last for the consumption of wild-caught fish. Don't you want to be able to eat fishsticks 30years from now?
