As I mentioned earlier, my clearly uneducated grandfather instinctively knew how much collateral damage explosives-based fishing causes and what the long term consequences were.<BR/><BR/>I am not sure this can be taught in a school setting.<BR/><BR/>I say any savages who wipe out their livelihood doing this should be fully entitled to living with the consequences of their recklesness and thereby getting their just desserts.El-Visitadorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08823897085882597971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177745.post-30554084351512381822008-07-27T12:47:00.000-05:002008-07-27T12:47:00.000-05:00OK i have an idea , what about make an squad that...OK i have an idea , what about make an squad that takes care of the shore and keep an eye on the fishermen. of course that has to have certin rules the do's and dont's in the salvadorean shore see eassy , and there you go regulating the practice and also making safe to eat, i dont want to eat a fish caught it in that way, not safe, for the consumers, whats wrong with this people????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177745.post-35787675211983357152008-07-26T21:57:00.000-05:002008-07-26T21:57:00.000-05:00What the hell.

It is a pity that the void created by a lack of education allows things that could easily be prevented to happen. It is so sad that goverment's like this one were so damn eager to make any effort necessary to keep El Salvador in a perpetual state of underdevelopment that our population isn't too savvy about proper resource management. What is the necessary thing to do to stop this kind of practices?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177745.post-74164774568480540872008-07-26T00:06:00.000-05:002008-07-26T00:06:00.000-05:00«In an alarming trend, the practice of "dynamite" ...«In an alarming trend, the practice of "dynamite" or "bomb" fishing has spread recently to Central America.»<BR/><BR/>This is erroneous information.<BR/><BR/>Fishermen were using explosives already in the 1970's, and possibly earlier. My grandfather, a landless peasant without education beyond the third grade, recognized how damaging this was to all creatures and condemned this evil practice.El-Visitadorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08823897085882597971noreply@blogger.com
