Title: Over Fishing - USA

Description:
Oct 2003Alaska's rich waters are famous for their plentiful supply of fish. But now overfishing is threatening to destroy this precious ecosystem.The Gulf of Alaska is home to the magnificent Stellar Sea Lion -- a mammal who for centuries has lived from this 'sea of plenty'. But as over-fishing has spiralled out of control, the sea lions can no longer find food.The decline of the Stellar Sea Lion has prompted the introduction of tougher fishing regulations in an attempt to halt a worldwide crisis. However local fisheries have been angered by the move which threatens their livelihood. Environmentalists see things differently. "The fishermen will put themselves out of business if they continue," alleges Ken Stump "if we remove fewer fish now then we will have more for the indefinite future." To make matters worse, fishermen who have spent years carefully controlling certain species such as wild salmon are finding themselves ousted from the market with the introduction of cheaper 'farmed' fish. They are struggling to keep afloat "We are trying to live through this. We will not be giving up."

Dec 8, 2009 - i dunno...you pretty much sound like an angry idiot. i have fished in florida for 15 years and have noticed a big decline, both in numbers and size. apparently there are other people who have noticed the same thing around the world even though i'm sure no one knows as much as you do. i'm glad you still have lots of fish in your area, but please shut up
strikenetter Says:
Dec 9, 2009 - Every fisherman i have ever conversed with in Florida has stated the same as i . Comm. fisherman there are limited to certain species, so what species are in decline that the comm. fisherman are allowed to harvest ? Mullets ? Jacks? Spanish ? Any other species, if facing population crisis are soley fished by rec. fisherman. My only anger is on the data and the regulations in accordance with collected data. So what species of fish have you seen in decline ?
strikenetter Says:
Dec 9, 2009 - And to your statement of my anger, yes i am angry for laws in regards to populations are being implemented with no just cause. Many species are proportionally abundant to their surroundings yet laws are being imposed without justification. Speckle trout pops. are the highest in years yet a 200 LB limit has been imposed despite the healthy stocks. YOU FIGURE IT OUT ?

Dec 30, 2009 - Alaska has too fee seals and lots of fish. The East Coast (Can) has too many seals and no fish. Huh? LVP there are NO uropean vessels on the Grand Banks per se. The cod fishery has been shut down for15 years!
strikenetter Says:
Jan 5, 2010 - I know all about recovery plans, herring here in NC, eatern US were deemed endangered to the point the fishery was shut down for 16 years. The main population survey was in the Chowan river, yet there are 4 more rivers and a sound/river where herrings could have spawned ! Though their presence was deemed unpresentable in the Chowan, this research deemed all rivers as unpresenatble in regards to population of the herring ! What the F ??

Jan 9, 2010 - Hilarious comment, go to school and get an education ? Many fisherman are educated to a point which you can never grasp. Not all intelligence lies soley on a college degree, often times, this only implies that you are a well educated idiot. Not all fish are exploited, industrial vessels are the cause for concern.

strikenetter Says:
Jan 21, 2010 - The majority of fish in our sound have perished due to drastic water decline, is this " overfishing" ? Speckle trout are floating to the surface dead as a hammer, yet overfishing is thought to be the cause for concern by biologists despite adverse information pointing to healthy stocks ! Wheres the scientific logic behind this intelligence ?
strikenetter Says:
Jan 21, 2010 - Thanks to organizations, anti comm.organizations, a law has now been proposed deducing fisherman to practice fishing using a net less than 3 1/2 inch stretch due to turtle mortality, or in case the instance of !!! Overpopulation and residential building along with tourism lining beaches has nothing to do with turtle demise does it ???/ We are now at the subjection of biological fisheries law ! WHAT NEXT ? Cast nets will be proposed for sure and the seafood business will face a crisis as FL !!!

Mar 23, 2010 - Tonight, there is a meeting on the speckle trout here in NC. NMFS wants to shut down the commercial harvest of speckle trout. For what reason ? Commercial fisherman land just over 200,000 lbs annually as rec fisherman land 900,00 lbs that are recorded. Its figured the rec. landings in actuality are 2 to 3 times the actual recorded amount. Yet, rec. fisherman will still be able to harvest these fish. OVERFISHING BY WHOM ?
freebearride Says:
May 28, 2010 - wow how is that possible , at any rate sounds like they are doing it backwards
strikenetter Says:
May 28, 2010 - Money !!!! Money overrules ! Recreational fishing generates more money for the economy than commercial fishing. Often times, rich sport fishermen have friends in high places ! Commercial fisherman take the hit, we always do !

Jan 2, 2011 - Just one simple equation. All you have to do is remove the unproductive sea lion & there'll be more fish around to fish. Less fish eating creatures around, more fish for humans. Ha Ha Ha.

Feb 27, 2011 - STOP NETTING NOW!!!!!!!!! Fish with rod and reel ONLY! The way is should be!
laurens890 Says:
Mar 20, 2011 - @RaNdY04gt Yea but you need feed to that fish. And where is that feed made from? Fish. It takes a lot of wild fish to feed farmed fish

Nov 19, 2011 - ITS not true what you say... People are murder machines no matter what government.. Why you say this I don't know maybe you are crazy or stupid.
trakkaton Says:
Nov 21, 2011 - @fishrcoolturtles2You just made it obvious that you don't even have the knowledge to comment on the topic. There are and have been lots of people who live without government. To equate Yanomami with Khmer Rouge or the Nestor Machnow Movement with farmers in Namibia shows just how narrow your horizon is. That aside, capitalism is primary an economic, not a political system.

Nov 14, 2009 - this vid says overfishing USA idiot, and the same principals for collecting data on populations are used everywhere, from landings ! My education only lies in fishing ? I see the fish populations in my waters daily, yet biologists sitting behind desks reading paper work are telling me the populations of the fish i target ! KNOW a lot more than you think !!
