There are two problems with your response. The first is that not all of the ocean is a shared resource. Within national boundaries the ocean is anything but a shared resource. See Fisheries Management[1] and for a specific example see Stel

It is strange that modern agriculture employs crop rotation in order to increase yields but we do not do the same thing for harvesting food from the ocean. CBC's The Nature of Things recently had a series about the state of the oceans.

Is confronting the word you meant to use? It does not make much sense in this context. But the alternative explanation is that an attempt at "comforting" was auto-corrected to confronting. But being "comforted" by anothe

I am not sure that a Cloudflare compromise would not rise to the level of a reportable event. In my experience/opinion "users' plaintext compromise" is certainly an instance of unauthorized access to customer information

And how many woodworkers have a back saw with a hack saw handle? I just went through a ton of clip-art toolboxes and cant find any where the designer decided to go with the extemporaneous saw design.

The toolbox logo for simply secure is killing me. Whomever made the logo has never used any hand tools. The saw is part hacksaw part panel saw.

I am pretty sure that Mr. Crawford's words are an accurate reflection of his opinion. The two big points you are glossing over are equipment and labor costs. Hobbyists do not have planers, joiners, cabinet work sized table saws, a fest

Do you know where/if I can I find that data/chart on the NWS site? The author says NWS deserves credit for not holding anything back but for some reason I can not find that data on the NWS web sites.
