Comments on: Change of government fishing policy is possible, but very difficult http://endoftheline.com/blog/archives/365 Imagine a world without fish Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:41:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Paul Reid http://endoftheline.com/blog/archives/365/comment-page-1#comment-3996 Paul Reid Sat, 20 Jun 2009 15:34:09 +0000 http://endoftheline.com/blog/?p=365#comment-3996 The current attitude of commercial fisherman in the whole Clyde area is an absolute disgrace, they show no guilt towards their single handed destruction of the marine environment which once flourished. They have also destroyed the lively hood of future generations and seem to have the government completely wrapped up in their lies and deluded attitude. The whole Clyde area must be closed to commercial nets to allow any form of substantial recovery to take place. Their is simply no fish left and sea birds and other mammals such as seals are also in serious trouble. The Scottish governments past and present should hang their head in shame for allowing undoubtedly one of the richest fishing areas in the U.K to collapse. Taking with it thousands of jobs and economic income on a grand scale.

I can guarantee it will be down to a fraction of the biodiversity that was there 30-50years ago. Us humans have got into the habit of just remembering what life in the sea was like when we were young. We tend not to believe our fathers & grandfathers tales of huge fish & catches. Amazingly there was a tuna fishing industry in the North sea in the 1930s!!. If you are interested in discovering that its not just the END of the LINE thats telling us we need to change, here is a list of my recomended books to read. In a Perfect Ocean by Daniel Pauly & Jay MacLean Sea Change by Richard Girling The Empty Ocean by Richard Ellis The Unnatural History of the Sea by Callum Roberts Bottom feeder by Taras Grescoe The End of the Line by Charles Clover If you are keen to find out the state of the Forth, If you contact me through our website I should be able to find someone who can help you. Regards Howard Hi Angus
