  • It is a good thing " Vivian Krause' is in to research. Look for her interviews on Youtube. American foundations have payed over $90 million to promote their own Amarican industries. Millions of that money went to so-called grassroots protests in western Canada. Why didn't these foundations put any money to enviromental action in the Gulf of Mexico, on the eastren seaboard or the Alaskan coast? Perhaps they may have been better off watching thier own envronment Hug a tree?

  • aquaculture could be the key to saving the world's fish population. farmed Norwegian salmon is fed a carrot mash for colouring, so that medicinal smell and taste found in chilean salmon and that from nova scotia is absent. Remember that wild-caught fish won't be around forever and that eating only wild-fish sounds like snobbery to me. (i've worked with organinc/natural meat and seafood for 4 years)

  • I would disagree with the statement, buy local, when applied to fish. If I live in Maine, that means buy local cod. But the local Cod stocks off of George's Bank have been absolutely decimated. So essentially I am supporting an overfished fishery. I would ammend that statement to say, support sustainable fisheries. The Wild Alaskan True Cod fishery would be my choice. While it is not local to Maine, it is responsibly managed in stark contrast to my local Cod fishery.
