Conservation

Offering My Opinion On Fishing Responsibly

March 6, 2021 By Tom Sadler

“Anglers, both recreational and commercial, need to take a long view if they want to keep fishing,” Sadler says. “Nobody wants to catch the last fish, but nobody wants to stop fishing either. Something has to give … there is a personal responsibility aspect to it that requires action by everyone.” He adds that “we are at the tipping point where our collective impact on the planet is causing a cascading series of events that are robbing future generations. We need to get a grip on that and start thinking about our grandchildren’s grandchildren — not just our present-day needs.”

February 8, 2021 By Tom Sadler

The term “30×30” is rocketing around the conservation community. The goal is to protect 30 percent of the land and water in the U.S. by 2030. Clearly an ambitious goal. In this piece I wrote for the Marine Fish Conservation Network, I look at how the Biden administration’s climate change executive order handled it.
