Comments on: Please Stand With Us, For the Sake of Cod http://www.clf.org/blog/ocean-conservation/for-the-sake-of-cod/ For a thriving New England Tue, 17 Sep 2013 23:46:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.6.1 By: Ben Carmichael http://www.clf.org/blog/ocean-conservation/for-the-sake-of-cod/#comment-2882 Ben Carmichael Thu, 11 Apr 2013 16:28:38 +0000 http://www.clf.org/?p=14735#comment-2882 As the editor of this blog, I want to thank you all for your supportive comments. Your response has been extraordinary: we have hundreds of letters to send to NOAA, and to John Bullard, asking them to protect cod and cod habitat.

We rely on people like you to stand with us to make sure we can be effective in saving species like the Atlantic cod. You haven’t let us down. From all of us here, let me express our sincerest thanks.

We’ll keep you updated on what happens next. Stay tuned for more!

Sincerely,
Ben Carmichael

This is in everyone’s interest, the ecosystem, the consumer, and the fishing industry.

Please protect these fish now, before the population completely collapses. For a time this will mean seriously tamping down on cod fishing , but it truly is an imperative at this point for survival. Thank you for your consideration in this important matter.

Sustainable harvesting limits are imperative after the required recovery time.

Do what is right.

1. Shut down the commercial cod fishery to save this resource for future generations.
2. Protect cod populations – especially the adult females who lay as many as eight million eggs annually.
3. Protect the ocean refuges that will allow cod to recover, not bow to industry pressure to open these areas to more commercial fishing.

And what locally caught fish would CLF recommend for my dinner?
