On November 15, 2007 I reported on the Junk Science Studies of Overfishing by Newfoundlanders, much to the dismay of some readers who still believe newfoundlanders in their little 6 meter dory's were the cause of overfishing, something newfoundlanders have been doing f or hundereds of years, including the culling of seals in winter time to prevent seals and their indiscriminate maiming of fish stocks, whereby seals take a bite out of fish laden with thousands of eggs which is then left to die in the oceans waters. It was only in the 1970's when the world decided the poor seals demise was brutal and put political pressure on politicans that the annual seal kill was banned or greatly reduced did the world notice and eventual and rapid decline of fish stocks off the shores of Newfoundland. Newfoundlanders warned the public and politicians that by allowing seals to thrive the end of Cod fishing would be a certainty. Politicians and the World noticing the Cod decline in Newfoundland chose instead to blame the Newfoundlanders of overfishing and place a moratorium on the cod fishery, resulting in bannning of fishing in the Newfoundland region resulting in the Death of Cultural fishing legacy, putting Newfoundlanders in three decades of hardship and unemployment as their livilhood ended due to political idiocy.
Below is a study on declining fish stocks on the eastern seaboard attributed to Seals along with other mammals, and not overfishing as stated by inane Celebrities who prostrate themselves over ice floes cuddling Doe eyed seals, stating Seals are not the problem.
Of course Newfoundlanders whose livlihood for centuries always knew this fallacy, yet shortsighted politicians and star crossed Public would rather believe the rants of celebs such as fading starlet Brigette Bardot and Beatle Paul McCartney and others who show up in Newfoundland for a 5 minute photo op and then scurry back to their private jets abroad. But those who refuse to believe anything unless a celebrity states it, shows the Publics gullibility and insipid mentality when it comes to jumping on the bandwagon of Junk Science.
Disapproval of sealsVancouver SunPublished: Saturday, February 09, 2008So it turns out it's not the commercial harvest that's depleting fish stocks along the East Coast of North America -- it's all those marine mammals we neglected to kill off. According to Nils Stolpe writing for FishNet USA, "A single species, the grey seal, consumes 200,000 more tons of seafood a year than U.S. East Coast fishermen are harvesting." Whales and dolphins share the blame as well, Stolpe says. Protected by law and, in the case of harp seals, Brigitte Bardot, populations of marine mammals are growing dramatically. Grey seals, for example, are increasing an estimated 12 per cent annually. Well pass the club, buddy, and let's roll up our sleeves. Mind you, FishNet USA is the voice of the U.S. commercial fishing industry, so we can't blame you for thinking there's something fishy here, but we view it as simply healthy self-interest, and anybody who thinks seals are vegetarians has never been robbed of a coho 10 feet from the boat.
Here is my story published Novemebr 15th, 2007 where I state Seals are the real cause of decling fish stocks on the Eastern Seaboard.
