Longliners are killing sportfishing in Costa Rica

Loing the sport fishing industry in Costa Rica. It is a fact that few people are willing to talk about. Costa Rica, once known as the “Sailfish Capital of the World,” is under serious threat of losing an industry that generates nearly $600 million annually and supplies 4000 direct jobs and nearly 63,000 indirect jobs according to a study done by the University of Costa Rica, sponsored by The Billfish Foundation in 2009. But it is not too late to save it.

Sport fishing operators in Costa Rica have seen the numbers decline year after year but have not been very vocal about the problem for fear of scaring off potential clients. A tourist fisherman that has been coming for many years has seen the numbers drop also. They got used to raising 20 or more sails a day and have seen that number drop to 5 or less fish up in the spread a day. As a result of this they are going elsewhere. What has kept the industry hanging on by a thread is that first time visitors who don’t know about the glory years are content to catch 2 or 3 fish a day.

Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Ie. I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the problem solved soon. Cheers

When I originally commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four e-mails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Bless you!

Hey there, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog in Ie, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, very good blog!

Great blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers? I'm planning to start my own website soon but I'm a little lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I'm completely overwhelmed .. Any recommendations? Cheers!

Ona, who performed the guide lady, was really scorching plus the director talked for a while but I could not have an understanding of quite a bit of what he was declaring."Anyway, which is my tale and i'm sticking to it. I'll be acquiring the DVD when it comes out."[It arrived with the intellect of 'Herbert West'.]June 6, 2003.
