This is why those prepared for
economic oceanic decline are investing in goldfish and silverfish. Some experts expect values to quintuple in the coming year.

My sea food doesn't come from the sea. It comes from The Lobster Hut.

Did you really tell the poor fishes to run for their lives, because of this here story of Dr. Worm ?
There's a hook !

Over-fishing also sabotages the stability of marine environments, profoundly reducing the ocean's ability to produce seafood
Why fish in the ocean when there's plenty of fish in the reservoir?

When I was a child, my father would cast a shrimp net into the salty waters, empty it into the boat, and the bottom of the boat would be covered with jumping shrimp. Today, you consider yourself lucky if you get two or three in your net.
If environmentalists, environmentalist charities, and those inclined to give money and other resources to them want to do something worthwhile, they will stop harrassing property owners; stop supporting the Left; stop empowering Leftist morons, sociopaths, power-hungry bullies, and brainless burocrats and mindless "environmentalists" (who LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the ENVIRONNNNMENNNNNNT but are too stupid to do anything but gaze into space and give their support to Leftist sociopaths, bullies, and morons); and channel resources into realistic strategies--especially research--holding promise of causing valuable sea life to fluorish.
My wife and I are ex-"environmentalists".
We are vegetarians. We do not allow hunting or fishing on our property. We recycle regularly. We take extraordinary measures to protect the natural environment. This is a major consideration for us at all times.
We FORMERLY supported the "Environmentalist Movement". That was before we found out who was running it and what their harebrained and/or nefarious intentions are.
I am now an anti-"Environmentalist".
This is my rule of thumb:
If the "Environmentalists" are for it, oppose it. If they're against it, support it.

My name is Dr. Worm.
Good morning. How are you? I'm Dr. Worm.
I'm interested in things.
I'm not a real doctor,
But I am a real worm;
I am an actual worm.
I live like a worm.

I hate to agree with enviro-fascist-whackos, but in this case I do.
We don't hunt for meat, we ranch it. If did hunt for meat, our methods are so efficient that there would quickly be no critters left to hunt.
Same should be true for the oceans. Our fishing methods are too efficient - we're wiping out the stocks. We should ranch our fish; fresh wild seafood should be a sport or luxury item and cost accordingly.

Umm correct me if I am wrong. But won't global warming cause the sea levels to rise? If this happens wouldn't we have more habitat for the little fishies?
So to avert the upcoming NO FISH tragedy should we burn more fossil fuels and go back to aerosol sprays? Guess so.

I found a perch
To sit my bass
Then found a worm
In the grass
I'd pick it up
If I cod
But then I heard
The voice of God
He wore a Badge
It said DNR
He said you can't
Possess that gar
It's a bass, you ass
I tried to explain
Its fins and scales
Make that plain
So he wrote a ticket
For holding a gar
Then drove in the lake
While in his car
Save me!
I'll make you rich
I said I haddock
You son...
(I better quit here)
