What are some of the major obstacles to achieving this objective; are there opportunities this objective can further, including transformative changes in how we address the stewardship of the oceans, coasts, and Great Lakes? There are only a handfull of Octocoral Collectors like myself who harvest the species and there Billions of them in the waters of Florida and very little is known about the effects of are small impact on the Fish habitat yet the concil is lowering the limit and the quota has never been meet in 15 years I have been Harvesting in state and Federal waters.More reaserch from Harvesters who know the Habitat Not Regs That put people out of work for no good reason.The gulf of mexico is not effected by Rule set by concil members who should not have control over something they have no expertize in.FWCs Jessica Mcally has the knowledge not South Atlantic Fishery Management Council.Marinelife collectors sould be more involved.My MLD # is 1363 Michael Helmholtz [email protected] have first hand experance and will work to protect our Oceans coasts and Great Lakes.Hire me What milestones and performance measures would be most useful for measuring progress toward achieving this priority objective? Trip Ticket Data Attachment: National Ocean Council Page | 2 National Ocean Council Name Johnny Hines Organization Which Priority Objective would you like to provide comment on? Ecosystem-Based Management What near-term, mid-term, and long-term actions would most effectively help the Nation achieve this policy objective? 1st Is to stop pollution, and to start repairing what we've destroyed! Honestly not trying to be funny by mr. Jacque Fresco, yes founder of the Venus Project is the man who has a plan drawn up for all these questions and concerns for our environment. Mr Fresco is a leader for world peace! I put him up for nomination. What are some of the major obstacles to achieving this objective; are there opportunities this objective can further, including transformative changes in how we address the stewardship of the oceans, coasts, and Great Lakes? Yes, all this ties in with the enviornment. Start listening to mr. Fresco the man is trying to help all people. Jacque Fresco has had a Plan since 1974, shouldn't the US govt listen now. Time is most valuable! What milestones and performance measures would be most useful for measuring progress toward achieving this priority objective? A cybernated system is key all important information needs to be connected to one global system, a cybernated system. Mr. Jacque Fresco has more information on this. Please take all of his information serious! It's not a joke it's time for world peace! National Ocean Council Page | 3 National Ocean Council Name Roberts Leinau Organization lots of organizations Which Priority Objective would you like to provide comment on? Ecosystem-Based Management What near-term, mid-term, and long-term actions would most effectively help the Nation achieve this policy objective? It is important to set sustainable harvest limits and keep extractive money forces in check. It is also important to improve degraded resources. What are some of the major obstacles to achieving this objective; are there opportunities this objective can further, including transformative changes in how we address the stewardship of the oceans, coasts, and Great Lakes? Money lobby usually influences legislation more than good science. Go with academic honesty. LOOK A MINIMUM OF 100 YEARS OUT. Support local NGO's to work in their own communities.

Ecosystem-Based Management What near-term, mid-term, and long-term actions would most effectively help the Nation achieve this policy objective? Overall, this entire concept has been lost. None of the primary concepts it began with have survived - or why do we have such imbalance in ecosystems. What are some of the major obstacles to achieving this objective; are there opportunities this objective can further, including transformative changes in how we address the stewardship of the oceans, coasts, and Great Lakes? Targets are chosen relative to "feel good" priorities. can we do something? Anything? Not what NEEDS to be done. It has become too fragmented and ego-based at the regulatory level. No one is on the same page anymore. We are creating more imbalance than solutoins. What milestones and performance measures would be most useful for measuring progress toward achieving this priority objective? What happened to private sector buy-in and cooperation? Transparency in goals and their management are nonexistant. Further, loss of some programs has made it impossible to define and develop realistic programs. It is a complete mess. National Ocean Council Page | 5 National Ocean Council Name Ed Kukla Organization Which Priority Objective would you like to provide comment on? Ecosystem-Based Management What near-term, mid-term, and long-term actions would most effectively help the Nation achieve this policy objective? You are couching this all wrong. Your question insists that something MUST be done. I am very concerned with the unintended consequences of over-reaching with onerous regulations. The boating industry, both commercial & recreational is a multi-billion dollar boost to our economy. Please

  • Keith Murray
    Interview with We Are Scientists’ Keith Murray New York indie rockers by way of Berkley, Calif., We Are Scientists are one of those acts that aren’t afraid to push boundaries and try out different things. One song will be a Fugazi-tinged alt-punk scorcher while another can sound like a mainstream pop hit. They’re currently in the midst of “The Splatter Analysis Tour” with Floridian indie rockers Surfer Blood and Roanake, Va., psych-shoegaze act Eternal Summers. I had a chance to chat with guitarist and vocalist Keith Murray about working with Ash’s Tim Wheeler, America vs. The UK and a special little 7″ vinyl available at their shows. Rob Duguay: On October 1, We Are Scientists will perform at The Sinclair in Cambridge, Mass., as part of “The Splatter Analysis Tour” with Surfer Blood and Eternal Summers. There will be a special joint vinyl that’ll be sold at the show as well. Can you tell us a little about what to expect from the 7″? Keith Murray: “Distillery” was a song we wrote and recorded in the very early stages of writing TV En Français. We spent a day in a studio in London and recorded three or four songs as potential demos. As we kept writing for the album, though, the tone of the record as a whole started to shift, and we didn’t quite feel that the songs we’d already tracked quite fit with the new batch of tunes we were working on. We really loved those songs though, and “Distillery” was our favorite of that batch, so we leapt at the chance to use it for something as cool as a split 7″ with the Surfer Blood gang.

  • Uk Versus Usa at the Shockwaves Nme Awards 2007
    STRICTLY EMBARGOED UNTIL 8PM MONDAY 29 TH JANUARY Insert logo UK VERSUS USA AT THE SHOCKWAVES NME AWARDS 2007 Expect blood, sweat and tears as we prepare for what will undoubtedly be one big dirty rock’n’roll battle of the bands – and of the nations – at the Shockwaves NME Awards 2007 . The best of British – Arctic Monkeys , Muse and Kasabian – will take on stateside success stories My Chemical Romance and The Killers on March 1 at Hammersmith Palais. Let battle commence! This year, there’s no one clear leader but FIVE bands that dominate the nominations list. With four nominations each, Arctic Monkeys, Muse, Kasabian, The Killers and My Chemical Romance have been chosen by the fans to fight it out on the night. For the past two years, it’s been British bands sweeping the board, but this year The Killers and My Chemical Romance may very well make the 2007 ceremony a stateside success story. Arctic Monkeys made NME Awards history last year by scooping the Award for both Best New Band and Best British Band in the same year, in addition to winning Best Track and scoring a nomination for Best Live Band . Sheffield’s favourites have matched their achievement, with four nominations this year for Best British Band, Best Live Band, Best Album and Best Music DVD. Arctic Monkeys said: “Very nice, we didn’t think we would get any this year! It seems weird for us to be alongside them [the competition] because we still feel like a little band. When it’s your own thing you don’t really see yourself alongside The Killers and Kasabian.” The Monkeys have more than one tough fight on their hands if they want to claim the Best British Band title for the second year running, though.

  • Deepsea Coral Statement
    Scientists’ Statement on Protecting the World’s Deep-Sea Coral and Sponge Ecosystems As marine scientists and conservation biologists, we are profoundly concerned that human activities, particularly bottom trawling, are causing unprecedented damage to the deep-sea coral and sponge communities on continental plateaus and slopes, and on seamounts and mid-ocean ridges. Shallow-water coral reefs are sometimes called “the rainforests of the sea” for their extraordinary biological diversity, perhaps the highest anywhere on Earth. However, until quite recently, few people—even marine scientists—knew that the majority of coral species live in colder, darker depths, or that some of these form coral reefs and forests similar to those of shallow waters in appearance, species richness and importance to fisheries. Lophelia coral reefs in cold waters of the Northeast Atlantic have over 1,300 species of invertebrates, and over 850 species of macro- and megafauna were recently found on seamounts in the Tasman and Coral Seas, as many as in a shallow-water coral reef. Because seamounts are essentially undersea islands, many seamount species are endemics—species that occur nowhere else—and are therefore exceptionally vulnerable to extinction. Moreover, marine scientists have observed large numbers of commercially important but increasingly uncommon groupers and redfish among the sheltering structures of deep-sea coral reefs. Finally, because of their longevity, some deep-sea corals can serve as archives of past climate conditions that are important to understanding global climate change. In short, based on current knowledge, deep-sea coral and sponge communities appear to be as important to the biodiversity of the oceans and the sustainability of fisheries as their analogues in shallow tropical seas.
