jellyfishing

This article in the New York Times on the increase in jellyfish populations around the world is one more indication of the decline of the oceans. The oceans are in dire straits from climate change, pollution and overfishing. The U.S. west coast governors announced an agreement to try and work together on ocean problems. But will it be too little? Many experts argue that one step to aid in fish populations is to increase the number of marine sanctuaries. We will be taking up the governor's report and the oceans' health in the next few weeks on my radio show. The NYT story and other fisheries troubles raise a question though: Should we call a complete halt to commercial fishing of the oceans?
