The discrimiating hunter that surveys the dive site for the abundant species, one that could sustain itself from a little harvest and then takes for his own needs I have respect for and more power to you. But the hunter that takes the last remaining lobster or Ab from a dive site or shots a 5" sheephead because it was the largest fish they saw is one of the problems, IMO. Lets face it the oceans are thinning out and for many reasons, did you see the Giant Bluefin story on CNBC the other night is a classic example. There is a better way to help perserve the ocean's resources and those that take from it and those that love it need to work together to come up with a plan.
