Bye Bye Cod
Memo to all CHL volunteers: Eat More Cod! We finally have this species on the ropes, and we just need to deliver the TKO. Today the World Wildlife Federation highlighted their decline in a report. The next time you go to a fish fry, be sure to order the cod instead of the walleye. Soon, we can chalk up another score (current score, CHL 5,847,384, Environmentalists 0).
Excerpt: Cod could be extinct within 15 years unless governments rein in fishing of the species, the environmental group World Wildlife Fund said on May 13, 2004. The organization issued a report entitled "The Barents Sea Cod," which states fish quotas in those Arctic waters for 2004 are 100,000 tonnes over what is considered sustainable by scientists and a further 100,000 tonnes are caught illegally. By 2002, the world's annual cod catch had fallen to 890,000 tonnes from 3.1 million tonnes in 1970. Half of the current world catch now comes from the Arctic Barents Sea.
