Stop Fishing By Ryan Cleary From The Independant
Taken from an article in the Independant by Ryan Cleary (Fighting NLian)titled Stop Fishing.
if
the feds don’t agree to joint management
then the Newfoundland and Labrador
government must repatriate the entire
fishery from federal hands.
Foreign Affairs will go mental if the
province ordered a fleet of dories to take
over the Grand Banks, but it’s time we
put our concerns ahead of everyone
else’s. It’s time to wake up Canada and
the rest of the world to the environmental
tragedy unfolding around us. The fishery
is collapsing like no other point in our
history. We must decide on a working
model for the outports and have the fortitude
to see it through. Life or death — the
choice is ours

We ll you've got to admit stopping fishing in all forms would have to mean a recovery since a moritorium by Canadians only doesn't seem to have worked. I actually don't get it Moritorium wouldn't that have meant everybody back in 1992 when it was implemented or was it just meant for NL'ians while the rest of Canada and the world carried on with their destructive dragging of the bottom with trawls and factory freeezers wher by the fish and more importantly hte fish's habitate was being destroyed for short sighted profit by blind RRSP Mutual fund holders. What happened to green mutual funds?
But like Ryan says in his article our fishery needs a complete overhaul to make it competitive for the people in a CO-OP kinda way whereby corporate greed is tied to the people who actually have a vested interest unlike the shadowy disconected mutual funds where by the bottom line is profit and the unseen distruction and disaster caused to gain such profit is immeasurable.
IMHO these heartless companies and countries who have reekek wanton destruction on our continental shelf should be made to repair their destruction by paying for manmade reefs to encourage the return of the worlds greatest food source after they have destroyed it.
STOP THE NET!
