Port Orford, Ore., is working hard to create a new kind of community-based, sustainable fisheries management for the over-fished ocean. Also in this issue: Environmentalists and immigration activists have a few doubts about President Bush’s proposed immigration reform policy.

Sidebar
Some fishermen fear that individual fishing quotas are likely to enrich corporations at the expense of small fishermen, while doing little to help the oceans
Some fishermen and many environmentalists say the best way
to create a healthy ocean is to set up "no-take marine reserves"
– wilderness areas for fish
In some struggling fishing communities like Coos Bay,
Ore., small companies like John Warner’s K-Lyn Fisheries LLC
are buying fish locally from small-boat fishermen and selling it
directly to big-city wholesalers
Editor's Note
President Bush’s space initiative will most likely
come to nothing, but it reminds us that we need to get our own
planet in order before we explore the galaxy
