Because of cod's decline, lobster populations have exploded to record levels,... fishing communities have become dangerously dependent on lobsters. "If anything happens to this one species, we have a disaster on our coast," .
Oh come on! Does the author really believe that fishermen are so stupid that they could not learn to fish for and profit from what ever species filled in the gap if Lobster numbers declined.
When cod declined fishermen learned to fish for lobster. Does the author really believe that Lobster fishing is the absolute limit of mans ability to adapt?
