Oh what a difference in Administration's can make!

Sorry Red Lobster - if you want folks to pelican out on shrimp - grow your own leave the ocean alone for a bit until fisheries recover from our gluttony!

Seattle, WA—The North Pacific Fishery Management Council (NPFMC) voted unanimously today, February 5th, 2009, to prevent the expansion of industrial fishing into all U.S. waters north of the Bering Strait for the foreseeable future to limit stress on ocean ecosystems in light of the dramatic impacts of global climate change in the Arctic. With no large-scale commercial fishing in the U.S. Arctic at present this decision establishes one of the largest preventative and precautionary measures in fisheries management history.
