Mods not very much is more fishing news than this or the like of this so please don't bin or bilge it. All things climate is most often 60% of the human reasoning behind all green zones/exclusions/etc...even if not officially voiced at he time.
The US has completed a large study, it's being reported lately, there is a little on the net surrounding it ATM.
It's all very interesting and although I have not chased it around the net very well at this point I already feel like I received a smack in the gob!...because it reads to me like this!:

I stumbled onto this video on the web about ocean acidification and the future of fisheries:
I've been following the debates around climate change etc on and off, but I have to say this one scared the bejesus out of me! Basically this is NOT directly related to global warming, it has to do with the oceans absorbing all that CO2 we've been emmitting since the Industrial Revolution and which is ramping up dramatically. The data on CO2 levels seems pretty non-controversial and if the science is even half-way right in this video, then as fishermen we have a lot to be worried about. They are estimating the demise of most coral reefs within DECADES given the increasing acidity of the water and the impact this has on organisms like coral pollyps and krill that rely on a calcium carbonate exoskeleton. This also means the total collapse and extinction of most of the marine food chain. There is some stuff at the end of the video about marine sanctuaries - which to me seems... [Read More]
