In the weeks since the Tsunami, the ocean in Kona has been littered with "floaters". Plastic, Wood, Styrofoam, you name it. Lots of junk in the ocean.
Everytime we drag our lures past these floaters, not only do we catch fish, but I notice a tremendous ecosystem under the floaters. Photosynthetic organisms cling to the floaters, stuffed with micro-crustaceans, surrounded by little fish, who are being eaten by bigger fish, who are being eaten by Bigger fish, who are being eaten by BIGGER fish, and some of those are being eaten by me.
So if a small floater off the Kona Coast is fostering such incredible biodiversity, and the fish are multiplying rapidly,
THEN HOW GOOD IS FISHING AT THE PACIFIC TRASH GYRE?
And will all the flotsam and jetsam, that is sure to be covered in biodiversity by now, from Japan help to increase fish stocks in the Pacific?
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, religious zealots like the environmentalists will burst a gasket when they read this. But the fishing has been terrific.
What say you?
