Edit: We need more "Perfect Storms". Uh... Uh.... I'll take a "No Comment" on that. :-) It's the Japanese long liners that kill everything in the seas. Since the early '70s my wife and I have gone to the Sea of Cortez side of Baja for snorkeling. It used to be that the waters were literally swarming with fish. There were schools so thick you couldn't see through them. You could sometimes end underwater up surrounded by 3 or 4 different schools at once. Then about 5-7 years ago they started getting thinner. And thinner. And thinner. Now the snorkeling is nothing like it used to be. I wondered what was going on. Natural cycle, climate change, current changes, what? Then about two years ago I found out. About 5-7 years ago the Mexican government sold fish rights in the Sea of Cortez to those Japanese ships you mentioned.
