So goes the refrain from the Axiom, "To fish or Cur Bait!" However, in Oregon it is likely that we will be unable to go fishing, crabbing or clam digging because we no longer have the ability to, "Fish or Cut Bait!"
Why, because we have allowed greed to destroy the environmental values associated with ecological productivity of Oregon's State Waters. We are losing the invertebrate species that drive the food chain in both freshwater and saltwater environments...Bill

Invasive parasite spreading among West Coast estuaries
March 11, 2009
NEWPORT, Ore. - A parasitic isopod that scientists identified five years ago has all but decimated mud shrimp populations in coastal estuaries ranging from British Columbia to northern California - with the exception of a handful of locations in Oregon from Waldport to Tillamook.

What are the consequences of Mud Shrimp going extinct??? Will the continued discharge of ballast water from ships in our offshore waters unleash another monster that sucks the life our of our shellfish???
Oregon's politicians continue to accept 10s of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions while denying responsibility for their own corrupt acts. Collectively, and there is a bunch of them that took the money, they have failed to represent the people. Coos County Commissioner Sweet and State Representative Caddy McGowan are leading the pack when it comes to taking campaign contributions.
Governor Brown has denied that you don't have to invade Oregon to conquer it all you have to do is buy it!!!
Coos Bay belongs to you, me and everyone in between but the State of Oregon has sold it to foreign oil interest. Coos Bay is not theirs to sell!
Throw the Bums out! Bill

To think Oregon actually pays the Directors of the OHA, ODFW the Oregon Dept. of Agriculture and DEQ hundreds of thousands per year to convince the public that the consumption of contaminated seafood products is good for you... Consider the following: "Advisories are designed to help you gain the health benefits of eating fish and shellfish while protecting you and your family from contaminants sometimes found in seafood." These reassuring claims were followed by these statements:
"Fish cleaning guidelines
Follow these fish cleaning guidelines to reduce your exposure to PCBs and other fat-soluble contaminants.
What is a meal?
A meal is about the size and thickness of your hand, or 1 ounce of uncooked fish for every 20 pounds of body weight.
•160 pound adult = 8 oz.
•80 pound child = 4 oz.
Contaminants and their health effects
Mercury and PCBs accumulate in our bodies over time and are passed on to developing fetuses through the placenta. Children’s brains go through extraordinary development in the womb and during the first six years of life. Mercury and PCBs can interfere with normal brain development and cause lifelong learning disabilities. PCBs can also cause cancer in children and adults."
It sounds as though these problems are out of control. Representatives from the OHA made the following outrageous claim that the clams taken from below sewage outfalls are safe to eat.. There are solutions to many of these problems Solutions that our politicians refuse to address.

Do you think our agency leaders are being threatened with budget cuts by our elected officials?
Look who is on the appropriation committee for ODFW, OHA, DEQ and ODA.
The real power is the legislature threat of cuts to agency budget monies.
Those who control the money wield the power of influence. Since we allow unlimited influence money... look what is happening to the environment and public safety.
VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE EVERY STINKING ONE !
