Obama White House to 60,000,000 Anglers: We Don’t Need You

clipped from gatewaypundit.firstthings.com A recently released White House document could result in the closures of sport fishing in salt and freshwater areas. Shimano reported: Feds to 60 Million American Anglers: We don’t need you A recently published administration document outlines a structure that could result in closures of sport fishing in salt and freshwater areas across America. The White House created an Interagency Oceans Policy Task Force in June and gave them only 90 days to develop a comprehensive federal policy for all U.S. coastal, ocean and Great Lakes waters. Under the guise of ‘protecting’ these areas, the current second phase of the Task Force direction is to develop zoning which may permanently close vast areas of fishing waters nationwide. This is to be completed by December 9, 2009. You can’t undo a UN treaty, if the administration signs this, this will be worse than cap and trade and healthcare combined

clipped from www.wired.com Whaling Protesters Pioneer Non-lethal Warfare In an article called “Streetfight on the High Seas,” the magazine interviews Sea Shepherd founder Paul Watson. He describes how the group went into action in a converted whaling ship and a 78-foot wave-piercing trimaran, capable of 45 knots. This boat is often described as looking like something out of a Batman movie; a million dollars of the purchase price was supplied by Hollywood lighting magnate Ady Gil, and the boat was named after him. Stink bombs – or malordorants, as the military prefer to call them - might be a handy weapon against the whalers. The Israeli Navy have used a “skunk spray” against Palestinian fishing boats. Contamination with the bad smell caused some fishermen to abandon their catch; applying a similar smell to whales might have the same effect.
