Deep Sea Fishing

I missed this nicely balanced article in the Post a few weeks ago. Some decry deep sea fishing as akin to clearcutting old-growth forest, but some say that we clearcut old forest for a long time to do farming, so why shouldn't we do it for fishing? A more germane point is that fishers are being subsidized to do this clearcutting. At the very least we should be able to agree that's unnecessary.
