Herring run frenzy shows disregard for nature

Dear editor,

I would like to express my concern after having witnessed the frenzy to catch as much herring as one possibly could (during the herring run) in Union Bay. I doubt that even one herring got through that gauntlet of boats and nets.

Quotas or no, as I watch the sea lions now fishing up and down the shore, I hope that there is still a meal there for them to eat - they who are a true part of the web of nature here.
