Ollie:

Hold on, and repeat as needed, with your good opines, for a good discussion of the subject matter, on a better forum post. Granted, it is extremely controversial subject matter.

I haven't said we need to close down vast amounts of space right here in our back/front yards.

But the real fact of the matter remains that we need more preserve space statewide, nationally and globally to balance the equation: ie. a little bit more that .01% globally, is necessary to do so effectively: 20% and we are leaders in our community, a big differentiator from among the apathetic.

Perhaps in South Florida, we may have sufficient preserve space allocated already... but until the statistics indicate properly we may need more preserved spaces set aside to the point that a reasonable percentage of the habitat can recuperate and provide benchmarks over time.

It is good subject matter to discuss among fishermen, to most effectively address the situation in the proper perspective. I do have to admit that I have eaten granola before, but I do not have any ferrets or Gerbils.

And I do love to fish and harvest fish, crawfish, mollusks, stone crab and other fruits of the sea. I would also like to eat more Toro (Fatty Bluefin Tuna Belly) but still preserve sufficient supply for my children and their kids.

Did you read the NGS Special report already? If not, please do and continue your opinion/observations from your perspective as the issue resurfaces.
