It makes me wonder what the ecosystem was like 400-500 years ago. Was there a ton of seals around? A ton of dogfish? A ton of great whites to thin the heards of seals? We know there was a ton of cod. Me thinks there was a ton of bait around. There is a combination of causes that are leading to the demise of our fisheries. Lets hope they can figure itout before its too late.
