...catches of the most popular commercial species in European waters. Fischler's proposal doesn't go far enough for some scientists, who warn that if even more drastic measures are not taken, depleted stocks may never recover. They are calling on the E.U. to ban trawlers from taking cod, haddock and whiting from the North Sea altogether. But even Fischler's proposal is enough to terrify and enrage fishermen. Alex Smith, chairman of the Scottish Fishermen's Federation, claims that if fishery is reduced by 80%, the whole industry will collapse, at a cost of 20,000 jobs. To demonstrate...
...growing worldwide demand for seafood--which accounts for 16% of global animal-protein intake, up from 14% in the early 1960s. About half the world's wild fisheries have been exhausted by overfishing. In the North Atlantic, one of the most depleted oceans, populations of popular fish (cod, flounder, haddock, hake and tuna) are just one-sixth of what they were a century ago. A European Union panel last week backed calls for a total ban on the fishing of cod in the North Atlantic and a moratorium on the fishing of haddock and whiting there...
...eagle in the area; a black-bear sow comes and goes so freely it is practically a neighbor. Five times a week, to keep in shape for her job, Barton jogged down the 3.3 miles from the house to County Road 1 and then back up. Her mother Sue Haddock told TIME, "Terry loved that job so much it was pitiful. She worked so hard for everything she had, and for those two girls." (Her sister Carla is taking care of the Barton girls. John Barton could not be reached; his mother says...
...sanctions" as the reasons for the reforms, adding: "You can't be a friend of the fishing industry without first being a friend of the fish." Overfishing is the primary cause of the near collapse of a range of species that have been culinary staples across Europe, including cod, haddock, mullet, herring, tuna and swordfish. Fish populations are at perilously low levels: the population of cod in the North Sea has dropped 60% over the last 20 years, while stocks of breeding tuna in the North Atlantic have declined by 80% over the past 30 years, according to the Commission...
