Beach Environmentalists' and Fishing Industry's Long Term Interests Coincide a Great Deal
- "Fishing is Americas oldest industry, but it doesnt have much of a future unless we begin taking steps to better protect and better manage our ocean waters and land-use activities that impact coastal ecosystems. This means establishing an effective governance structure, conducting research and improving understanding of the oceans and their resources. It means protecting against ocean pollution, habitat destruction, coastal sprawl, the threats of global warming and aquaculture as well as making sure our fisheries are conducted in a sustainable manner." - excerpt from Half Moon Bay, CA fishermen Pietro Parravano appearing in the article at http://www.santacruzsentinel.com/archive/2004/July/25/local/stories/05local.htm
