According to a study by "ECOTRUST" (doesn't the name imply biased BS to start with), decades of overfishing in the Gulf of Mexico have stripped the five-state region of tens of millions of dollars in economic activity in recent years, according to a report released Tuesday.
The study by Ecotrust, a Portland, Ore.-based conservation group, found that Gulf states, including Texas, lost $13 million annually between 2005 and 2009 because of fewer recreational fishing trips targeting severely depleted red snapper.
The amount represents money that was not spent on boat rentals, charter fees, tackle and bait and other direct expenses.
The group estimated the losses increased to $33 million a year when spending on restaurants, hotels and other related businesses is included.
The Gulf region also lost millions each year because of overfishing of gag, gray triggerfish and greater amberjack, the study found.
MY TAKE ON THIS: YES, WE HAVE LOST MILLIONS BECAUSE THE GD NMFS AND GULF COUNCIL ARE A BUNCH OF SELF-SERVING BASTERDS MADE UP OF COMMERCIAL FISHERMEN THAT RAPE AND PLUNDER THE RED SNAPPER STOCKS WHILE LEAVING THE RECREATIONAL FISHERMEN PICKING UP THE CRUMBS-I WISH THE NMFS AND GULF COUNCIL WOULD GET ON A COMMERCIAL BOAT AND SINK IN 300' OF WATER. COMMERCIALS GET TO FISH ALL FOCKING YEAR-WE GET 40 GD DAYS, OF WHICH 30 ARE BLOWN OUT BY THE WIND UNLESS YOU OWN A 100' BOAT-THE COMMERCIALS DEPLETE THE STOCKS, NOT THE RECREATIONAL FISHERMEN YA BUNCH OF IDIOTS.
TAKE YOUR GD, TWISTED, BS STUDY AND GO SHOVE IT UP A COMMERCIAL FISHERMEN'S AZZ PEW GROUP AND "ECOTRUST" - BUNCH OF STUPID POS TREE HUGGERS THAT HAVE NO CLUE-LIKELY ALL OBAMA SUPPORTERS SINCE THEY GIVE OUT HALF-ASSED FACTS WHILE LEAVING THE REAL STORY OUT-JERKFACE IDIOTS. MORE "SPIN MEISTERS".
