At my local beach they stand for hours on end saying nothing . Fishing has been called the quiet sport . This reserve may be one reason why the plight of fishers and fish is relatively unreported. Even the most erratic of newspaper readers will have an idea that the rainforest is disappearing. But few know, for example, that the list of animal species extinct since 1600 has many fish and 6 pages 297 species of extinct molluscs .
Few people feel a similar revulsion when a lobster or a mud crab is boiled alive.
They just reach for the mayonnaise and dig right in. But when jobs and fish stocks start disappearing, fishers break their silence. This magazine is full of fishers and environmentalists who are denouncing the irresponsible use of fish. Fish are smelly and definitely not cuddly. But these activists hope that you too will think they are worth saving.
