In yet another example of how industrial fishing operations endanger the future of fish, the waters of the Pacific now are dotted with man-made "reefs" known as "FADs" or "fish aggregating devices." Created as a response to calls for "Dolphin-safe tuna," these FADs appear to be doing far more harm than good.
For details and to follow Casson Trenor's reporting from a Greenpeace vessel over the next several weeks, go to http://www.sustainablesushi.net/2009/11/05/skipjack-seiners-and-the-sea/. His blog on keeping the supply of fish safe is well worth following at other times, too.
