Originally published, June 5th, 2007, this RFA paper has since proven that fish and fishermen are not the only variables in the equation of fisheries management. Since the implementation of the Sustainable Fisheries Act in 1996 the management of U.S. fisheries, while far from perfect, has become a model for the rest of the world. Yet one organization in America continues to use scare tactics to drive its agenda domestically while the most egregious problems can easily be found abroad. Their agenda may sound laudable, but the reality is that their goal is to stop fishing. Who has hijacked the management of our nation’s fisheries? You might be surprised.
