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.

I think the report does a pretty good job of reflecting global fisheries in its current state. The predictions of what could result without implementation serious management plans is extreme, but its not really total voodoo. The US fisheries are kinda state of the art as far as management goes and we have our issues. Not so the case in Indonesia and places like that where there really isn't any management. Throughout the world one fishery is depleted so they go deeper into the ocean to get whats left (orange roughy, Chilean Sea Bass). Add in population growth along the coasts and if the oceans and estuaries continue to warm up it could be serious. Even here now... Atlantic Salmon, cod, American shad, river herring, ... its not so good.
