The good and bad of conservation

February 7th 2010 05:10

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!

As much as I am for conservation, it's sad when people have to lose their jobs in the process. Like you, I too hope that some middle ground can be achieved. Perhaps, they need to develop a side-business program to help the fishermen cope with the fishing quota...

Like Lara and yourself, I am into conservation too. The trouble with fishing restrictions is that most of us still eat fish and rules such as the one about quotas will eventually have us all out there catching our own fish, there being no commercial fishermen out there to do it for us.

Some rules don't make any sense at all.

Lara M,

There are a lot of gray areas in life and I guess this is one of them!
