The meter is running: "Turtle safe" meets WTO
June 1997
"Fishermen are receiving a lesson in Global Economics 101 right now if they're watching the shrimp market. On May 1, the United States began embargoing imported wild shrimp from 40 countries in response to a lawsuit pushed by Earth Island Institute, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Humane Society of the United States, Sierra Club and Georgia Fishermen's Association." At the time of writing, the author was co-director of the San Diego-based Fishermen's Coalition. (This article is classified under Fisheries.)

Saving Turtles? What do these organisations really want?
September 2004
"If you've been paying any attention at all to marine fisheries issues, you'll know that a handful of so-called environmental organizations have been making life miserable for just about every commercial fisherman (except, of course, for those few in organizations that have been won over to the side of these "conservationists" by lucrative foundation grants and the chance to use their connections to get a competitive edge on fishermen in competing fisheries) for most of the past decade."
