What does codfish sell for in the fishmarket? 4-5 times what it would sell for if the fishery had not been the victim of commerical greed and scientific incompetence. Who pays the cost of that behaviour? The public, in the form of millions/billions dollars of increased food cost. Furthermore, as the Canadian experience shows, incompetent fishery management and commerical greed can permanently destroy a public resource (no more N slope cod). It has been 30 years since I caught a codfish on Middleground in December. So how do we go about contributing to the Pew trust? Thanks.
