Thoughts on a new concept of "commercial" fishing

Birds of a feather hey.

birds that may think for themselves and not just follow the flock aimlessly and mimic those at the front.

Just have a look at some of the data that is on the net about the Oceans becomming more acidic.

As atmospheric CO2 levels rise, more dissolves in sea water. Disssolved carbon dioxide makes water more acidic (like weak soda water). Acids dissolve limestone (that's why we have so much wonderful limestone rock scenery in the World). Plankton make their shells out of limestone (calcium carbonate). The curent data suggests that plankton shells and coral skeletons have become much thinner in recent years. Look on the net.

Might just be fluctuations in sun Spots causing warmer than usual weather or some other phenomena.

Maybe not.

When the plankton die, because they cannot make their shells and the coral dissolves and dies from stress, where will the fish live and what will they feed on (bottom of food chain).

Where's your fish then?!

Money is what talks, until it's almost? too late. Funny how many of the media outlets have interests or are controlled by Multinationals?......Ooops! Sorry. Started to sound like those birds!

I'm worried!

co2 + water = carbonic acid..a very weak acid. it does break down to water and CO2 very quickly.

Gidday Rob.
Mate, maybe the rising level of acidity (or lowering Ph) of our oceans is because of the ever expanding population and it's dependency on animal based foods.
How can this be so??
The Ph of the pee of lettuce munchers is a bit higher (more alkaline) then the Ph of the pee of the humble buffalo swallower (more acidic).
Seeing there are so many of us buffalo swallowers and because we all pee in the river (well, we are all heathens) maybe that's why the acidity levels are rising??
So the moral to the story...if you munch on a cow pee in the bush.
Or do we eat all the vegetation and die of asphyxiation??
