Ignorance is a painful thing that ultimately we must all bear witness.
when will everyone see that artisinal fishing and commercial efforts cannot mix. Those Two arent even the same conscious effort. anytime large incomes stimulate the taking of any animal for food, rather than sustenance locally you end up with serious problems.

Real fishermen ensure the health and sustainability of his natural resources, as do real hunters of the land. anything else is rampant Piracy for a proffit.

as a spearfisherman I do all I can to learn about the life histories and breeding sizes of the species I intend on eating, and avoid shooting juveniles and females, and you can tell the difference readily. as a line fisherman you have the option to release, and it should be practiced in the instance of juveniles and pregnant females. that is giving back to the future.

Many of the arguments about Mercury are serious. The argument about Pain is pointless, they all feel pain either briefly or slowly. If you are going to kill something, you should take every effort to decrease the ammount of pain for the animal, but will anyone ever know how much pain that was?

Cetation Killing: should be a no brainer, that is too close to humanity, and yet we havent managed to sourt out human rights issues to any certainty. I am glad to see that there are humans with enough freedom of financial resources, and conscientious fortitude to focus on Cetations rather than humans. It is good to see that someone is willing to sit on the line of fire.
