Default Re: Sea Bass Closure

I heard this somewhere... and believe it's an analogy of today's time.

You can place a frog into a pot of boiling water and it will immediately jump out.

Or,

You can place a frog in a pot of luke warm water, turn up the heat, and it will slowly boil to death.

We are the frogs in luke warm water, it must stop.

Yes, I am a contributing member of the RFA but it doesn't seem to help.

Regretfully, sorry to see the ocean prospects going directly to the big pockets, and yes, it is about the commercial interest. Just ask the commercial "hand line" cod fisherman in the north atlantic (Canada). You talk of revolution. Those boys commender-ed the official office after laws were passed against them (for a week or more i believe) and there was a great documentary movie which details all of it. Eventually, it all fell against them, even after the hand line fisherman were able to declare victory based on promises which weren't kept by officials.

Troubled times are upon us (fluke regs./ mako shark closure/ sea bass) and I want to buy a bigger boat. WTF for...
