shawnh 0 Posted April 4, 2007 I can't find anything optimistic to say...sometimes it is overwhelmingly depressing the degree to which commercial fishing is devestating our oceans. I think of it as the great buffalo slaugher in the US old west, but sadly of a far greater magnitude. It is for this reason that I have totally sworn off seafood. I just don't believe in this day in age that you can have any confidence that your food is captured in a non-destructive and sustainable manner. Every day that passes, the concept of sustainable fisheries slips further from the realm of possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LChan 0 Posted April 4, 2007 pathetic. I actually have a firm belief that there will be a time in the very near future where I will sell all of my beloved camera gear, housing, and scuba gear. There won't be anymore ocean life to see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeanB 19 Posted April 4, 2007 Larry, that would be a very sad day.. This is why we need our lenses to promote our oceans for people to 'Wow' at..not the usual cannot see cannot hear, does not effect me. A sad day when our images are a visual library of 'what was'...
