Video Letter to the Editor: Open Air Sewage!
GROSS!! Please Share! This video was not taken in a third world country; this is Florida, just yards away from the water of the Indian River Lagoon! The anonymous supporter who sent us this video was shocked and appalled to find this open-air ‘sewage treatment system’ while walking along the lagoon near his home in Brevard County. These are legal and you better believe there are more like them. When it rains and these ‘systems’ overflow, guess where all of that nasty water goes? And what happens to the ‘treated’ sewage on a daily basis? After all, what goes in, must come out! Why hasn’t this archaic approach to sewage management been updated yet?! Friends, one of these could be near where you live! Please contact your representatives and tell them that this is unacceptable. Visit takebackourwater.org to get all of their contact information and to learn more about the problems and solutions revolving around restoring the Indian River Lagoon.Video Courtesy: Take Back Our Water | Facebook

Terrible Practice!
Terrible practice. Defeats management and conservation. This guy and his anglers should be shunned. I am sure some enforcement officers are looking for these guys. We should help them. These guys are stealing everyone’s fish. Video Courtesy: John Contello | Facebook

NOAA Puts Bigeye Tuna on Overfishing List
Article courtesy: app.com | By: Dan Radil | Originally Published: April 29, 2016
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has put Atlantic bigeye tuna on the overfishing list in its annual Status of the Stocks update.
It means the harvest rate is higher right now than the rate that produces its maximum sustainable yield — the largest long-term average catch that can be taken from a stock under prevailing environmental and fishery conditions.
It could also mean potential reductions in the total allowable catch will be implemented.
Jennie Lyons, from NOAA Fisheries Public Affairs, said the listing is based on the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas’ (ICCAT) most recent accepted stock assessment that showed fishing mortality rate in 2014 exceeded the overfishing threshold by 28 percent.
While there is both recreational and commercial fisheries here for bigeye, it pales in comparison to major baitboat fisheries in Ghana, Senegal, the Canary Islands, Madeira and the Azores off the west coast of Africa.
Bigeye tuna can reach 5 ½-feet lengths and weights of over 200 pounds.
