I.L. This needs to be posted..but I urge our readers to go to the site and follow the other links for more information.
According to the World Conservation Union, the environmental community's goal is to utilize the [UN Law of the Sea Treaty] to employ the 'modern' Precautionary Principle globally to preserve the earth's biodiversity for future generations consistent with the United Nations doctrine of sustainable development.[...] And, this requires the development and promotion of:
..."a global framework or approach, building on the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the UN Fish Stocks Agreement, CMS and other relevant agreements, to facilitate the creation of a global representative system of high seas MPA networks consistent with international law, to ensure its effective management and enforcement, and coordinate and harmonize applicable international agreements, mechanisms and authorities in accordance with modern principles of precautionary, ecosystem-based and integrated management and sound governance as defined in the UN principles; including through: Requesting those countries which have yet to sign or ratify UNCLOS, and other relevant international agreements (e.g. Kyoto Protocol, [...] Convention on Biological Diversity,[...] UN Fish Stocks Agreement)[...] to immediately ratify and implement these agreements"...*
The scarey thing is that we may not be able to do much about this. If the rest of the world signs on to it they will have a lot of power to limit the US on the seas...AND THAT'S JUST FOR STARTERS. Bells go off...no one seems to hear.

Hi Jack -
Glad you saw the humor in the Jug 'o Kenny award!
Anon commenters are a frustrating part of many blogs. I wish I was the admin of the Red County Blog, I'd stop 'em all.
As to Doolittle - one thought Jack, you were a cop. The Fed's have been after JTD for 3 1/2 years, no indictment. The man is innocent and far from corrupt. That is my primary issue with what you said...
I know John personally, he is ethical and his problem was that those he was in leadership with were in a bad way and he got caught in the overspray.
I will see you when you are in Placer in a few weeks.
