Fishing Imperiled in the Rocky Mountains
Public lands are being leased for oil and gas extraction, just like they always have. However, over the next 20 years, “an estimated 126,000 new wells are planned.” Last week the Sportsmen for Responsible Energy Development (SFRED) published a report, “Hunting and Fishing Imperiled,” in which they name ten large parcels of public land that are under siege. The World Fishing Network has a nice overview of the report. You can get SFRED’s executive summary (4 page PDF file) or the full report (31 page PDF file).

I understand this issue , I have been fishing for the past 60 years in the carribbean and have seen the fishing stock deteriorating every year due to overfishing, environmental neglegence, scuba diving , exploration etc. I sincerely beleive that if we do not do someting our children will only be eating farmed fish, wjich is already in full swing. we have shrimp
lobbster and all other kind of fish beeing farmed already!
