(Yen with ¿shinJ pressXres liIted, sardines coXld strXJ- Jle to boXnce bacN in an ocean devoid of their main food soXrce. 7he lipid-rich coldwa- ter planNton that sardines liNe to eat have become scarcer in West Coast waters, replaced by tropical species with less appeal to the reJion¶s predators. 6cien- tists sXspect the warm blob is caXsinJ the planNton shift. WithoXt that food soXrce, ³the whole system can sXffer,´ said .erry *rif¿n, who man- aJes sardines for the 3aci¿c Fishery 0anaJement CoXncil. 7he end resXlt is omi- noXs for more than MXst ¿sh- ermen. Oily sardines are a Ney food soXrce for larJer ocean-JoinJ animals. $s that option becomes scarce, pred- ators switch to less-nXtritioXs food options and can end Xp starvinJ. 6cientists believe that chain reaction is already play- inJ oXt in a biJ way. $ JroXp of National Oceanic and $tmospheric $dministration researchers last weeN released a stXdy linNinJ the sardine col- lapse to the sXrJe in starvinJ sea lion pXps washinJ ashore alonJ the California coast. 7he scien- tists who aXthored the stXdy say they expect the mass starvation that stranded ,000 pXps last year to continXe as lonJ as for- aJe ¿sh nXmbers remain low. 6imilar phenomena have been observed amonJ other species that tarJet small school- inJ ¿sh for food. %rown peli- cans are failinJ to breed, dead *XadalXpe fXr seals are wash- inJ ashore in California, Xnder- si]e salmon are retXrninJ to Canadian spawninJ JroXnds and seabirds are washinJ ashore weaNened or dead on the OreJon coast. 2YHU¿VKLQJ Environmentalists for years warned that a sardine collapse was imminent. Now they have beJXn lobbyinJ to Jet more conservative harvest policies in place before the ¿shery reopens. Research shows that over- ¿shinJ intensi¿es the cyclical downtXrns of sardines and other small ¿sh, and ocean conserva- tion JroXps arJXe cXrrent West Coast standards are too permis- sive to prevent over¿shinJ. %en EnticNnap, a 3ort- land-based campaiJn man- aJer for the international con- servation JroXp Oceana, said the JroXp is pXshinJ the coXn- cil to adopt new standards that woXld triJJer a ¿shinJ ban once the sardine stocN drops below 60,000 metric tons. 7hat triJ- Jer point is more than foXr times hiJher than the cXrrent level. 7he JroXp is also lobby- inJ for a rXle to prohibit ¿sher- men from haXlinJ in more than 5 percent of the adXlt popX- lation in a Jiven season. ,n the ¿nal years of harvest before last year¶s shXtdown, ¿shermen caXJht as mXch as percent of the adXlt sardines in the water. ³FXndamental Àaws in manaJement have to be ¿xed, or this crash will be repeated in the fXtXre,´ EnticNnap said. &DXWLRXV RSWLPLVP $lthoXJh the overall resXlts of this year¶s sardine coXnt were discoXraJinJ, scientists say there¶s a Jlimmer of hope. 6everal years of poor repro- dXction helped drive down the sardine popXlation. ,n their lat- est trawl, scientists saw evi- dence that 05 was a Jood spawninJ year. ,t¶s too soon to tell whether the reprodXctive sXccess siJ- nals a tXrninJ point. ³7here are some potentially positive siJns there,´ 0ilstein said, bXt in order to boost pop- Xlation coXnts, ³the yoXnJ need to sXrvive lonJ enoXJh to maNe it into the matXre popXlation.´ Miracle-Ear Hearing Centers are looking for qualifi ed people to test their latest product, The Miracle-Ear® Mirage for FREE!* Here’s the catch: You must have diffi culty hearing and understanding in background noise, and your hearing must fall in the range of the hearing aid.
