Description

Describes the games that nations & org. play in order to exploit the ocean’s migratory fishery resources in the Atlantic, Caribbean, & Mediterranean waters. Examines the attitudes & actions of different countries, fishermen, & consumers, all lobbying for greater allocations for themselves while the supply of fish is being rapidly depleted. Sloan’s provable theory is that the oceans are being depleted 3 times faster than is reported by scientists. He uses simple formulas & explains what the numbers mean in a biological/ecological sense, & whether they match up with those found in statistical reports. This story is told through accounts of internat. meetings of gov’t. delegations, lobbyists, special-interest groups, & non-governmental environmental org.
