Watched some of it and clearly there is a difference in opinions, obviously the people making a living on cod aren't believing the fisheries management stock assessments. For us striper fishermen, it seemed for the longest time, the reverse was true; management wasn't believing our stock assessments.
Still it's sad to see an entire industry come to a close, but like the whaling industries of the past, when you hunt your livelihood to the point of extinction; the other shoe eventually drops. With all the push in the media that eating more fish and less red meat is the healthier option and sushi bars sprouting up like McDonald's, there has to be a strain on the stocks and global warming is only going to make matters worse.
