That is what is important to them....do you run your business to make money or are you a not-for-profit organization? That is their means to make money, they are good at it and they depend on it. Walking into a meeting with the attitude that they are raping a resource is not going to accomplish anything.
not for nothing but the science on both sides of the argument pretty much sucks so who do you listen to....

Is it because the resource is struggling or because its a resource you have a personal interest in that makes it worth protecting.
some would argue that the plight of the plover is a resource worth protecting
If people go into these meetings playing the blame game...both sides get pissed, and any credible arguments they have, become meaningless.
