Snow Crab Collapse Due to Ecological Shift in the Bering Sea
This isn’t the latest breaking news, but it’s important. The collapse of major Bering Sea fisheries undercuts the largest source of US catch, a source of food for millions, and livelihood for at least many thousands. These are strong signals that fishing communities are already taking it on the chin. What do you think about the best move ahead: fight back? Or should fishermen just shut up, suck it up and get a job pounding nails… assuming the world will still be making those.
