1
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: From Mediators World News headquarters in Bozeman, Montana. This is

2
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 1: Kel's we Can review with Ryan kel Kell in now

3
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: Here's Kel. A loggerhead sea turtle maybe the first ever

4
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: recorded sea turtle to swim from Cape Town, South Africa

5
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: to the Pilbara coast of Australia, a distance of almost

6
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: twenty three thousand miles. Loggerhead sea turtles have what is

7
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: called a cosmopolitan distribution, meaning they live just about anywhere

8
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: suitable temperatures exist, but the females only lay eggs at

9
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: select nesting sites. For example, it is suspected that of

10
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: the America's loggerhead population nest in Japan, one turtle was

11
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: tracked making that trip from Mexico, a distance of about

12
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: nine thousand miles, which at the time was the only

13
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: cross ocean basin journey of any marine mammal on record.

14
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: Not to play this admittedly amazing journey down, but adult

15
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: loggerheads spend their lives submerged. They're capable of holding their

16
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: breath for over four hours. They literally travel the world

17
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: on ocean currents. So as per usual, when you hear

18
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: the words only recorded in regards to animal research, need

19
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: to keep in mind the animal or animals are the

20
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: only ones that a person or persons have recorded doing something.

21
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: There could be a whole pile of those same animals

22
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: making the same journey that people just haven't recorded. This

23
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 1: particular story is a little different, though, which is why

24
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: I think this new loggerhead journey by a turtle named

25
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: Yoshi is such a cool story. No, I do not

26
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: like the naming of wildlife, but stick with me on

27
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: this one. Yoshi was found by a Japanese fishing boat

28
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: as a small juvenile with a broken carapace that's a

29
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: fancy name for shell and delivered to the Two Oceans

30
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: Aquarium in Cape Town. Yoshi did well in the aquarium,

31
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: eventually growing to almost four hundred pounds by the time

32
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: she hit her suspected breeding years. Loggerhead turtles may not

33
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: hit sexual maturity until seventeen, and in some cases not

34
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: until thirty plus years of age. That seems very modern

35
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: human depending on the context of the word maturity, or

36
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: until you take into account their total life expectancy is

37
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: only about sixty years of age and the fact that

38
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: the female will only lay for about three years at

39
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: a time before going into a kind of reproductive rest

40
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: or recharge for several more years. Sometimes as long as

41
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: seven seems like time is a wasting But then I

42
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: think we can all agree a little rest is warranted

43
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 1: when each female is potentially birthing a hundred and forty

44
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: eggs every time she hits the beach, Give me all

45
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: the begs you have. But back to Yoshi. The team

46
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: at Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town had to make

47
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: a tough decision to release the first turtle that had

48
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: essentially raised at the aquarium. For the majority of Yoshi's life,

49
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: she had known captivity. They could potentially be releasing this

50
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: turtle straight to its death. Death could come in any

51
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: number of ways. The turtle could never have imagined growing

52
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 1: up in the safety of an aquarium. All Two Oceans

53
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: could do was make sure she was in swimming shape.

54
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: They accomplished this by training her to swim in between

55
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: two divers at either end of the twenty meter aquarium

56
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: lap swim, so to speak. Eventually, they outfitted her with

57
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: a GPS unit and transported her thirty miles off the

58
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: coast of Cape Town and set her free. Keeping in mind,

59
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: they had no idea of her origin outside of the

60
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: Japanese fishing boat. So is anyone's guess where she would

61
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: end up? And I am sure there were a few

62
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: guesses that the GPS transmissions would just end. But in

63
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: two years the female logger had named Yoshi, made her

64
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: way as far as we know, unscathed and astonishing twenty

65
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: three thousand miles. That's thirty seven million, fourteen thousand, nine

66
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: hundred and twelve meters or one million, eight hundred and

67
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: fifty thousand, seven hundred and forty five point six laps

68
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: of the Two Oceans Aquarium pool where she grew up.

69
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: She did this minus all the learned skills of time

70
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 1: in the wild, only instinct, probably a lot of luck,

71
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: and a whole lot of lap swim. Keep that in mind, kids.

72
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: This week we've got COVID nineteen no big surprise, their

73
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: new sharks updates, the Land and Water Conservation Fund, and

74
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: so much more. But first I'm gonna tell you about

75
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: my week. All sorts of new and interesting things are happening.

76
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: As everyone knows, we watched a new disease grow and

77
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: spread from a wet market in wu Han, China. The

78
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: legal trade of wildlife includes the capture of wild animals

79
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: as well as the breeding of a wide variety of

80
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: animals to be sold at market, right alongside illegal wildlife

81
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: that has mixed in amongst the domestic, exotic, sometimes captured,

82
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: sometimes homegrown animals on display. In these wet markets. The

83
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: live animals are stacked on top of each other in

84
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: their cages, facilitating a cocktail of bacteria in the easy

85
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: transfer of viruses such as stars such as swine flew

86
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: and now such as COVID nineteen. We've had many ups

87
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 1: and downs with wildlife here in the United States, and

88
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 1: we are likely to have many more. One move that

89
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: seems like a winner currently is the prevention of the

90
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: sale and trade of wildlife meat eaters own. Patrick Durkin

91
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: just wrote the follow up article to the story of

92
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: Steve Porter, the Minnesota deer farmer who broke a travel

93
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: ban imposed by the Minnesota Department and Natural Resources when

94
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: a case of c w D, a disease that is

95
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: transmitted through prions affecting the brain nervous system and is fatal,

96
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: was found at a farm over two hundred miles away.

97
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: The state Department of Natural Resources imposed the shipping restrictions

98
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: on captive serveds in order to mid a gate the

99
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: potential spread of the disease while they investigated the possible

100
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: comings and goings of deer from that facility with the

101
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: known case. Now, it is very important to note that

102
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: c w D is not a bacteria or a virus.

103
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: It is in its own special category of sponge of

104
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: form and cephalopathes again transmitted through the passing of prions

105
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: found in mucus fecal matter, most likely passed during close contact.

106
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: There are no known cases of c w D jumping

107
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: to humans. I think Pat Durkin did a fantastic bit

108
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: of journalism here. Please go follow up for the whole

109
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: story at the meat eater dot com. But let's focus

110
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: on the good stuff. We're working from home. The Meat

111
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: Eater office is traditionally a petrie dish, where if someone

112
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: sneezes in one end of the building, somebody else is

113
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: blowing their nose at the other. Some steps to mitigate

114
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: the spread of this disease seem way over the top

115
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: for those of us in the low risk category, But

116
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: let me tell you. I have a ninety one year

117
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: old grandmother with one long She's on oxygen full time

118
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: and is squarely in the high risk segment of our population.

119
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: She loves to be outside in her garden, and she

120
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: just told me that she wants to get back out

121
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,119
Speaker 1: fly fishing this summer. And that is why her health

122
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: matters to you, You calloused and selfish individuals. Not only

123
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: are we talking about someone who provides habitat for our pollinators,

124
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: we're talking about a licensed angler here. So do your

125
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: part to keep granny fishing. Wash your hands and keep

126
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: that social distance up. In other news, we have two

127
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: very big announcements coming up, only one of which I'm

128
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: going to tell you about. This week. Cal's We Can

Speaker 1: or shoot me a message on the old Cow four

144
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: oh six Instagram handle and I'll select a few of

145
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: you for a box meat eat or spices or something

146
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: else equally is awesome. Another thing to be looking out

147
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 1: for is uh. I've been doing a lot of cutting,

148
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: as you know, with my favorite steel battery power and saw,

149
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,479
Speaker 1: and i have not been doing a lot of maintenance.

150
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna be posting up a quick and dirty

151
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: how to sharpen your chainsaw chain. Look out for that

152
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: one as well. Over to the bug desk. A recent

153
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: study published in the journal Nature and Ecology has found

154
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: that in ards to the cow peeweevil, which is a

155
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: small beetle, that increased sexual competition actually leads to a

156
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: higher rate of genetic mutations and offspring, whereas in areas

157
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,719
Speaker 1: where the cow peeweevil has little to no competition for reproduction,

158
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: there is little to no genetic mutations in the offspring,

159
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: meaning that when many males compete for one female, in

160
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: this case, competing for the ability to breed than a

161
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: male sperm has to compete with other male sperm to

162
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: fertilize the female's eggs, there is a higher likelihood that

163
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: there will be some sort of variation from the norm

164
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: in the offspring produced. Remove the competition, and the odds

165
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: of producing offspring that lack genetic mutation goes way down.

166
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: So now you can kind of think, wow, competition is

167
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: a bad thing to put in human terms as we

168
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: like to do. You can potentially decrease the risk of

169
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: having an abnormal baby if you find the mate that is, uh,

170
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: the easiest, lacks others attention him. Is what I'm trying

171
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: to say. If you were to select the most sought

172
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: after mate, the one that seems all the girls or

173
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: guys fawn after, you could if you are cow peeweevil,

174
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: that is run the risk of having a child that

175
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: has something a little different going on. Could be good,

176
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: could be bad. But here is the other thing they

177
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 1: found after playing this study out, eventually the high competition group,

178
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: over the course of many many generations, found its plateau.

179
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: The competition led to many genetic mutations, but those mutations

180
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: eventually led to a much higher rate of production of

181
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: healthier individuals kind of been doing it the easy way

182
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: or doing it the hard way sort of thing. You

183
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,599
Speaker 1: may not want to consider that without those genetic mutations

184
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: and variations, the cow pee weevil may have just stayed

185
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: a calf pee weevil. Quick side here. If you are

186
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 1: ever in the Colorado Springs area, look up the bug Museum.

187
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: I've been there with my family, I've been there with friends.

188
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: I've even taken a date there once. It does not

189
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: disappoint possibly and please check and use precautions. If you're

190
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,719
Speaker 1: doing some homeschooling. Due to our collective mitigation of the

191
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: spread of COVID nineteen, you could possibly arrange a private tour.

192
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 1: If not, keep it on your list. If it were

193
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: here in Bozeman, Montana, I would be there at least

194
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: once a month. Moving onto the new critter desk. As

195
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: you know by now, I love the fact that we

196
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: still have new species to discover. It is a real

197
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: bright spot in my day. So here's the latest. Saw

198
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: Sharks live in the three major oceans, Atlantic, Pacific, in

199
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: Indian but the majority of saw sharks seemed to be

200
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: concentrated in the Western Pacific Ocean. It is there that

201
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: a research team looking at the effects of fisheries off

202
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: of the coast of Zanzibar and Madagascar discovered the two

203
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: new species. I'm just gonna stop and say I love

204
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 1: this already for my money, There's nothing better than discovering

205
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: new species, unless you are discovering them off the Zan's

206
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: Bar and Madagascar coast. Just has an old tiny sense

207
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: of discovery and adventure to it right anyway. These two

208
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: new saw shark species each sport two very dignified looking

209
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: whiskers called barbles that help them comb the murky depths

210
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: for food. They also have the long snouts lined with

211
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: razor sharp teeth that vary in size, giving it a

212
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: saw like appearance. Just like the other saw sharks. It

213
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: is presumed that the saw for these newcomers to the

214
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: group is used to literally cut up oversized prey by

215
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: whipping their heads back and forth, cutting prey into bite

216
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 1: sized pieces. Where these two new species differ is they

217
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: have six gill slits instead of the standard five, lumping

218
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: them in with only one other known six guild saw shark.

219
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 1: Very cool stuff. Like all of our sharks and rays,

220
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: different fisheries have different problems, and these two may already

221
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: be in hot water, so to speak. Another thing that

222
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: makes these six guild sharks interesting is that they will

223
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 1: hang at much shallower depths than the other known typically

224
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: very deep living saw sharks, making them vulnerable to incidental

225
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: catch in this area. So maybe if you shine a

226
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: little light on our two newest known six guild sharks,

227
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: definitely look them up. The pictures, especially from underneath, are

228
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: fantastic and spread the word. Perhaps a little more appreciation

229
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: will help conserve them. It does help sometimes, moving on,

230
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: but staying in the water. A fly fishing guide and

231
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: captain jose Yukon guided a client onto a permit, which

232
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: is angler cot and the captain tagged. A permit is

233
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: a member of the jack family and a highly sought

234
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: after sport. Fish Catching one is one of the top

235
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: ways fly anglers like to measure themselves against other fly anglers.

236
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: This captain put a dart tag on the permit and

237
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: released it back into Mexico's famous Ascension Bay. Typically, permit

238
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: populations tend to stick around certain areas, but as with

239
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: any species, you get your free rambling types. This past January,

240
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: that same permit ended up on another captain's boat, this

241
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: time in belizees Ambergs K about four miles away. The

242
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: Bone Fish and Type and Trust, a nonprofit that is

243
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: put in an incredible amount of cash and advocacy work

244
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: for these species, are funding the research to track permit movements.

245
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: This particular case shows a permit moving from one protected

246
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: area to another. In order to do this, the permit

247
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: traveled through areas where people still keep them for food,

248
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: both for personal consumption and profit, bringing up the question

249
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: are there protected areas big enough right now? Many areas

250
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: of protection for species salt fresh land dwelling are on

251
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: a voluntary basis, where individuals within an area a k

252
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: A beach, a region, a mountain, a state will regulate

253
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: the legality of take. In the case of a big

254
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: tasty permit, I would like to think that the possibility

255
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: of a middle ground exists here. They don't need to

256
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: be reserved solely for catching release tourism, and they don't

257
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: need to be over fished to death to fulfill demand

258
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: at the market. Check out the Bone Fish and Type

259
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: and Trust for more information. Moving over to the Land

260
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: and Access Desk, many of you have written in and

261
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: asked about the Great American Outdoors Act that mega once

262
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: in a lifetime opportunity to help our public lands, parks,

263
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: blm U S Forest Service and fund access programs, and

264
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: ease months through the Land and Water Conservation Fund. In short,

265
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: it warms my heart. Thank you very much. The Act

266
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: still lives. Please do not be afraid to call right

267
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: now your congressional representatives and tell them to support this

268
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: bipartisan both sides of the Aisle legislation. Many state parks

269
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: and refuges have closed in order to remove employees from

270
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: the risk of contracting and spreading COVID nineteen. This seems

271
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: so counterintuitive to see places like this close when I

272
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: certainly feel we need them most. But here's the deal.

273
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: Park visitors and refuge visitors and National forest visitors have

274
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: proven that we want empty garbage cans and clean bathrooms.

275
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: We want maintained trails, paths and signage. It takes people

276
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: and money to do that. As of this recording, many

277
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: national parks are open and free of charge. Don't mess

278
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: this up. Get out, get some social distance, but don't

279
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: be afraid to pick up trash if you see it.

280
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: Don't steal the darned TP out of the restrooms. Be

281
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: kind and courteous, to your fellow park goers, as we

282
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: need everyone to take some ownership of these places. We

283
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: need them now more than ever. Before you go, make

284
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: a self imposed park entrance fee of a single phone

285
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: call until you're duly elected to not settle for anything

286
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: less than the full package and passage of the Great

287
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: American Outdoors Act. If they are not a co sponsor,

288
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: tell them to get on board. That's all I've got

289
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: for you this week. Believe me, I have so much

290
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: more to tell you. If you have anything for me,

291
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: right in to ask Cal. That's a s k C

292
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: a L at the meat eater dot com. If you're

293
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: loving what you're hearing, tell a friend or three, and

294
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: be sure to leave me a review by hitting that

295
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: furthest right hand start thanks again, and I'll talk to

296
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: you next week
