Salt Water Fishing Licensing Will Generate Millions For Environmental Conservation

June 22, 2004 -- The current environmental crisis is little understood by most because they cannot see the damage that is being done everyday because it is underwater. Thousands of tons of litter are thrown into the ocean every day where it destroys marine life. Lets look at just one example of destructive environmental abuse, the millions of fishing lines and lures that are lost every week remain in the oceans forever, the hooks killing fish that bite them and die, a process that is repeated over and over again.

Modern fishing line materials will last for thousands of years, causing this process of death and destruction of our fishing stock to go on and increase for centuries to come.

We need to legislate that biodegradeable fishing lines and lures be developed and their use required by law. We must do the same for all forms of fishing, including commercial fishing and fishing done near our shores by foreign companies.

We also need launch a massive cleanup of the ocean bottom. A Federal Department of Oceanic Environmental Conservation needs to be created and given the responsibility to clean up the oceans and enforce regulations. It can no longer be left up to the States and communities that line our shores. And it cannot be left up to individual fisherman to choose whether they will act responsibly or not.
