Greetings @scienceguy. What an amazing opportunity! It's sad to hear though that commercial overfishing has caused the numbers to dwindle though. Please note your post has been selected by teamsouthafrica to fall under their Discord groups #daily-nominated-post section. Congratulations!
Dear @therneau, I am overwhelmed and deeply grateful. Thank you so much for featuring my post in teamsouthafrica's #daily-nominated-post. I can't tell you how much it means to me.
On the overfishing, we are doing our best to combat it with science and data to help our decision makers make better decisions and plan enforcement better. Time and future research programmes will tell us if our approach is working.
And yes, it is an amazing opportunity. We have learned so much.
It's only a pleasure :) I do hope that the research will assist. It's sad to see how so many beautiful things in this world get destroyed by greed and selfishness. On the other hand it's wonderful to have people like yourselves at the front end, battling to save what could become lost.
