I am acommercial fisherman in Alaska.It was an eye—opener to see the destruction and waste in theworld’s fisheries.The Alaska salmon fishery is very well managed，and we don’tsee the destruction occurring elsewhere.Many local peoplecomplain of the many restrictive laws in the fish- cry，but afterreading this article，I’m in favor of even stricter regulation.The sea isthe basis for life on Earth，and we must take care of it.

Jimmy O’Brien：

You didn’ttouch the fishing here in the U.S.where the fisherman is working under the harshest regulations onEarth and the strictest equipment restrictions.We are fishing in afashion that is completelyenvironmentally friendly as required under the Magnuson-Stevens Act.The U.S.keeps importingmore fish from countries that have no requirements on equipment or on theircatch.U.S.fishermen cannot compete with foreign prices so the fishermen’snumbers have been reduced.

Tiffany Miller：

I wasshocked at the utter lack of regard that the commercial fishing industry hasfor its very ownresources.I’d like to ask these same fishermen who say that they cannot make aliving on the catchlimits set for them：How are you going to make a living when all the fish are gone?

Nathan Kennedy：

Youfailed to note the obvious root cause of the global fish crisis，which is notnew technologies but the explosion of world population.There simplyare not enough fish in the ocean to feed US，and all thefishefies management and conservation in the world will do nothing to stopoverfishing if nothing is done to stem the unsupportable demand for humanconsumption.

As aperson with some 35 years of membership in various conservation groups，and afterwriting thousands of emails，letters，and protest forms，I arrived at the sad Conclusion that nothing I did mattered one bit.When thecatch drops below the cost of operating expenses，the industry willdie，taking the health of the ocean with it.We will thenall,stand back and wonder why we let it happen
