The spread between what fishermen receive and what the end customer pays is enormous. Everyone in the chain is taking a cut. The person who did the hardest work, the one who went out on the water and brought the fish back, is getting the smallest share.

Wind loss= less current mixing= less upwelling= less ocean productivity= destruction of ocean food supply?
But screw the ocean, right? Gotta’ grab those tax credits…is this the legacy that our federal government wants?

This is generating some good conversation on Instagram, so why not share here too.
There is an issue in the marine sciences where the experts we once worshiped can no longer keep up with the development of new ideas and become inevitably outdated.
Thoughts?

Offshore construction & passing ships impact sea turtle hearing. OSW farms being considered in Pacific Leatherback Sea Turtle critical habitat. Where is the ENGO outrage? A fishery interacts with one and there are screams from the rooftops. #hypocrisy sciencedaily.com/releases/20…

Fishing has less impact on climate than the harvesting of other proteins. A study of greenhouse gas emissions of wild #fisheries found:
🐟 For each kg of fish caught produces 1 to 5 kg of carbon
🥩 Red meat production ranges from 50 to 750 kg of carbon per kg of meat
