Our oceans have been the victims of a giant Ponzi scheme, waged with Bernie Madoff-like callousness by the world's fisheries.		101
I personally like the idea of shellfish aquaculture. These are animals that stay quiet, they stay where you put them, and they clean up the water.		102
The crisis of the fisheries is similar to our economy. This is not one fishery failing, but the whole system.		103

In the Java Sea in Indonesia, I have seen fishers going out in the morning, six of them going out and coming back with five pounds of fish.

While the climate crisis gathers front-page attention on a regular basis, people - even those who profess great environmental consciousness - continue to eat fish as if it were a sustainable practice.	Environmental	109
We transform the world, but we don't remember it. We adjust our baseline to the new level, and we don't recall what was there.		110
If you think of having a family as being loved as a child, cared for - I did not experience that.		111
People don't know the past, even though we live in literate societies, because they don't trust the sources of the past.		112
Tilapia have often been represented as the aquatic chicken, and it's perfectly justified.		113
