Shrimp season worst in recent history!
“I've been in the shrimp processing business for 34 years, and this is the worst fall shrimp season I've ever seen,” said Danny Babin, general manager of Gulf Fish Inc. in Houma, who will be representing parts of Houma, Grand Caillou and Dularge on the Terrebonne Parish Council next year. The poor shrimping this year has been acknowledged by BP claims czar Ken Feinberg, who announced last month that he would double payouts for fishermen who have not yet resolved their claims. Shrimp and crab harvesters and processors will receive four times their documented 2010 losses from now on. Dean Blanchard, a ...

Shark Slaying!
Every year tens of millions of sharks die a slow death because of finning. Finning is the inhumane practice of hacking off the shark's fins and throwing its still living body back into the sea. The sharks either starve to death, are eaten alive by other fish, or drown (if they are not in constant movement their gills cannot extract oxygen from the water). Shark fins are being "harvested" in ever greater numbers to feed the growing demand for shark fin soup, an Asian "delicacy". Illegal Shark Finning in China! Not only is the finning of sharks barbaric, but their indiscriminate slaughter ...

Police attempts to erect barricades along 5th Avenue failed to block the march, as banners reading "OCCUPIED" were seen along New School buildings. Now, massive crowds ...

Rerip: Recycling and Reusing Surfboards
The Springwise Newsletter informs us all of another awesome recycling/reuse idea: Keeping surfboards out of landfills with recycling and reuse. We've seen efforts focusing to varying extents on each of the “3Rs” of waste management — reduce, reuse and recycle — but we couldn't resist mentioning one more that recently caught our eye. It isn't brand new, but California-based Rerip is a site that aims to help surfers resell, exchange and recycle old surfboards. Polyurethane, epoxy resin and expanded polystyrene are among the harmful compounds used to make surfboards today, Rerip points out. For that reason, its mission is “to create accountability, ...
