Latest From the Sea Suite: New Year, New Opportunities

I've been a bit remiss the past few months in attending to The Sea Suite. My missing persons work, combined with family and job responsibilities and more than a bit of emotional turmoil in the second half of 2009, forced some important choices -- and also provided some much-needed motivation.

Through it all, I have been having conversations with activists, scientists and entrepreneurs and have come away more convinced than ever tha… Continue

The Latest From the Sea Suite

Business Lessons From the Spiny Dogfish
Crisis for one is opportunity for another. Commercial fisherman and the fish-eating public exploited an abundant resource (the Atlantic cod) to near extinction, and the dogfish raced in to fill the niche thus opened up. The cod's (and cod fishermen's) crisis created opportunities for the dogfish and for fishermen in other parts of the world who… Continue

Community-supported fisheries - an emerging trend analagous to community-supported agriculture - offers… Continue

We Need to Stop Eating the Oceans: Commentary by Captain Paul Watson

The Oceans are like the Goose that Laid the Golden Egg. As long as it was alive it laid a golden egg each day but then the greedy farmer decided to kill it to get all the gold inside and found nothing and the Goose laid no more golden eggs because it was dead.


For centuries, the oceans have fed humankind. But in the last century, human greed has raped and pillaged oceanic eco-systems remorsefully with an ecological ignorance that is staggeringly insane.


I don't eat fish because I a… Continue
