Many environmentalists are concerned about over fishing our oceans and they scream bloody murder when whales or dolphins wash ashore and blame the sonar on Navy ships and submarines. They condemn our commercial fishermen as well. And yet these environmentalists live in the greatest nation in the World thanks to the military and they eat fish too? Some say it is total hypocrisy, nevertheless, they do seem to get media attention and have some people listening to their condemnations of all others.
Yes, we do have dead zones in many areas and yes we have over fished in many places and yet at the same time things must be put into perspective and this is where it makes sense for commercial fishermen to maintain good communication with the media and be involved in positive re-enforcement for their industry.
Mankind needs to have a balance with nature and we still need to eat and the commercial fisherman assist the needs of our civilization and society. Therefore for everyone to be on the same page a public relations and community goodwill program is paramount to prevent animosity or a negative anti-commercial fishermen trend to develop. Perhaps you will consider all this in 2006.
