Save you the time Dan

It is very convenient that this study came out when it did. Coincidence? Not likely. The granola lady and some friends just created a new model that will interpet the data in the manner they want. From what I read, they created this little computer model and fed it the same old sparse empirical data they had on hand and then pronounced that it shows MLPAs are good for everyone. Because it is an ocean with currents, and because fish have fins and swim around, they have a hard time counting them....it is far easier to just create a computer model that interpets old data and skews it the proper way. Not science so much as it is BS.

Anytime I see a "scientific report" by any group that has the words conservancy or protection attached to it, I get out my waders.
