I must say that while I have no clue who Brian is, it worries me that a NG photographer will be put on such a public stage to speak on fishery issues. I dont know anything about him and hope that he knows his stuff and isnt going to spew enviro rhetoric. As long as he knows the issues and doesnt have some agenda, it may be fine, but I must say I am kind of skeptical already. Hope I am dead wrong.
