NO FISH IN MY DISH GOING TO PRINT

Yes, that's right, we are going to print. Jason and I have decided to self publish the book. We are looking for a printer. No Fish In My Dish will hopefully be available for purchase from our website for $9.95 plus shipping and handleing in about 6 to 8 weeks.

We would like to thank all of our partners sites, friends and family for their continued support and faith in our book. This is just the beginning for us all.

Watch out world, here comes No Fish In My Dish!

PROTECTING THE WORLD'S OCEANS...

Oceana is the largest international advocacy organization focused 100 % on protecting the world's oceans. Industrial fishing vessels are scooping too many fish out of our oceans while industries on land are putting too many pollutants into our oceans. In just five years, we've already had tremendous ocean victories, and with the help of nearly 300,000 supporters worldwide, we hope to turn the tide on ocean destruction.

WWW.OCEANA.ORG

Like many of us, Oceana wants our oceans to survive. Oceana wants our oceans to be around for our children and grandchildren and great-great grandchildren. Through their efforts our oceans may be able to survive. In order for them to accomplish the goal we all dream about, they need your support.

PLEASE, check out their website, www.oceana.org .

With your help, we can all contribute to making this a better planet for our families.

ANNOUNCING ANOTHER NEW PARTNER

Support for No Fish is gaining momentum. Jason and I would like to welcome our newest partner, John Gray Recyclers. John Gray Recyclers pledge is to increase the public's awareness of the importance of the protection of the ocean and the world's coral reefs. They believe that we must all take action to conserve the ocean to sustain the wonderful web of life on our planet Earth.

An example of their tireless work can be found in an article written by Katherine Whitehead, "The Demise of Coral Reefs". Here is an excerpt from her great article:

Coral reefs are a natural habitat for many fish, invertebrates and algae. They have been described by scientists as “the rain forest of the sea”, and are potentially the most diverse ecosystems on Earth.

These coral reef ecosystems are being destroyed by over-fishing, destructive fishing methods, interference from recreational divers, coastal development and global warming.

Due to advances in technology, fishing has become very efficient, over one hundred million tons of fish are caught each year. Sadly this has led to the downfall of many species of fish causing disruptions to the oceans food web. As the numbers of larger fish decline, smaller fish are caught to continue to meet demand. The declining numbers of smaller fish allow accelerated algal growth which starves the corals of sunlight preventing Zooxanthellae from photosynthesising and slows growth. This reduced growth makes corals vulnerable to boring animals, such as sponges, polychaete worms and molluscs which weaken the corals structure and cause them to collapse.

Many fishing techniques are incredibly damaging. Trawl nets used for deep sea fishing are armed with steel weights that are bulldozing entire reef ecosystems. Reefs that have taken thousands of years to develop are being reduced to rubble in an instant. These reefs will not grow back in our lifetime.....

....Forms of fishing that appear to be ecological, such as farming are also affecting corals adversely. Scientific studies have shown that waste from fish farms increases nutrient levels in surrounding waters, resulting in excess algae....
