NO MORE FISHING

[Nebe]

If I had a Crystal ball and could see into the future, and saw with certainty that having a closed fishery of all kinds for say 5 years would make the fishing absolutely %$%$%$%$ing amazing, Id hand in all my gear. The problem that I have is that what is happening is all smoke in mirrors... the ocean is about to be taken over by corporate fishing vessels owned by larger corporations. The first step in this plan is to tell everyone that fishing has to stop... the 2nd step is to watch all of the small family owned boats fold and the 3rd is to divide the fish amongst those who are left. I believe we are on step 3 right now. Sector based fisheries managment has set the stage for this. Watch.

Eben - you are exactly right.

Now think about that the next time there is an article or legislation propsed to shut down small scale commercial fishing (Stripers, Tuna, etc) -

- when you so eloquently voice your support for such initiatives, you are part of the master plan.

You did not understand what I am saying- What I mean is that if this legislation was just about the fish, I would not have a problem with it... but its not. And I have a big problem with that.

In regards to small scale fishing like stripers, I dont see any large scale commercial interest in it.... with the exception of farming them.

Agreed, and add to that the interests of the big oil companies and wind farm owners and you can see why they want all of us, e.g. small scale commercials and recreationals off the water. Only thing we can do to atop it is to get Congress involved. Write you congressman and senators now!
