Therefore, bottom trawling is inherently unsustainable because it erodes the very habitat upon which fish extracted from it depend. Shrimp trawling is also unsustainable because the high levels of bycatch will inevitably decline over time as stocks collapse. The Marine Trophic Index, a tool developed at the Sea Around Us project is one way of gauging if fisheries are staying the same. Another one is probing old-timers for shifting baselines anecdotes.

Thanks for the succinct guidepost...things stay the same...I think it works. One suggested friendly amendment, in our depleted ocean of today we might want to go to the Boy Scout approach: leave the ocean better than you found it.
I think people differ greatly on this issue. For example, if it were completely unidentifiable as my own, I would have no problem with a picture of my naked ass being posted on the Internet. Others would be absolutely horrified by the prospect.
The authors found that the frequencies of allergic and IgE-associated allergic disease and sensitization were similar in the children who had received probiotic and those whoâd gotten placebo. Although there appeared to be a preventive effect at age 2, there was none noted at age 5. Interestingly, in babies born by cesarean section, the researchers found less IgE-associated allergic disease in those who had received the probiotic.
