The good and bad of conservation

There's a lot of difference between guys who throw a hook into the water and guys who make a living casting giant nets into the water and measuring success by the ton!

Here's a really good article I found about a commercial fisherman in Great Britain who finally had to hang it up because of government regulations and conservation measures.


Having grown up in West Virginia, I know what environmental impacts industry can have. On the other hand, you have the commercial fisherman Jason Clarke, in the prime of his life at only 39. You can can hear his frustration as he speaks out in the article.

There are those who rape the environment and there are the tree huggers. Somewhere is the middle where we have to learn to live!



Remember to take the hooks outta yer pocket before ya sit down!
