Free Sardines!

Mass fish kills are nothing new, and are becoming downright commonplace. Check this out, the video of the harbor is pretty wild. They also have another story about 2 million fish that died in the Chesapeake in Jan along with mass bird kills around the same time.
The end is nigh. The Mayan's were right.
Well, not really, but it makes you think. Any fisherman worth his split shot knows that we are doing irreparable damage to our fisheries on a daily basis. Fish are very susceptible to small changes in their environment (especially temperature,) and once you put one thing out of whack strange symptoms begin to appear. These occurrences should serve as a reminder that all of the world’s fisheries are close to a drastic tipping point.
At least my summer finances are looking better. I may be able to offset the $3.50 a gallon gas price with a drastic savings in sardine costs.
