Also. Stop eating fish caught with LONGLINES. Ask how the fish was caught when ordering your seafood. Longlines and driftnets are the most devastating ways of wiping out the fisheries. I'v been flying over the ocean for 16 years catching swordfish the old fashion way, by Harpoon. 1 at a time. We catch about 150 to 200 swordfish in a 4 month season, longliners catch 200 swords every 3 weeks all year, not to mention all the bycatch!

A forty mile long line of baited hooks will definately clean out and area.
