NATURE | A Mystery in Alaska | Are Fisheries Guilty? | PBS

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/episodes/a-mystery-in-alaska/introduction/888/ In the 1970s, the pollock industry in Alaska expanded to become the largest fishery in the world. Around the same time, sea lions began to disappear. Despite other possible factors, many people thought the fisheries had been caught with the smoking gun.

NATURE's "A Mystery in Alaska" airs on PBS Sunday, September 27, 2009 at 8 p.m. (check local listings), part of the 27th season of the Peabody and Emmy award-winning series produced by Thirteen/WNET New York for PBS. Major support provided by Canon U.S.A. Inc. For more information, visit http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/episodes/a-mystery-in-alaska/introduction/888/

Hemp seed can replace the essential nutrients found in fish oil without the contamination of mercury or the process of removing it.

Meat is good in small doses. We abuse our consumption of meat.

I'm from the northwest...all this fish hype and demand about it's supposed miracle cures in the media is hurting our wild life!
