1/10 - The Power of Negativity! 250,000 people show that it actually IS possible to stop bad fishing regulations

I love it when people say, "Don't be so negative." But what if you said that to the 250,000 people who submitted comments on the insufficiently conservation-minded revisions to national fishing policy. Most of their comments were so negative that NOAA has halted the whole process to reassess things and presumably improve the legislation. Congratulations to National Environmental Trust on helping to spearhead this entire effort. Mission accomplished! (for the time being)
