Mr. Stoffer, I had intended last night to check the scientific council reports to update myself on this topic, but I didn't. I am aware that these stocks have been under siege for quite some time. There have been moratoria in effect for many of them. There has been some recovery--the yellowtail flounder, for example, is a case where I think there has been some recovery. But many of the stocks still remain in dire straits.
On the reference to Dr. Myers and Dr. Worm, their statements about the state of the world fish resources were global in nature. In fact members may be aware that on Monday of this week, the FAO, the Food and Agriculture Organization, at the meeting they have annually in Rome, released their latest status report on the state of world fisheries and aquaculture. In that report the situation globally has become more alarming, in the sense that the number of stocks now deemed to be fully exploited and over-exploited is at 80%, which is an increase from an already alarming level previously.
