Environmentalist: The commissioner of the Fish and Game Authority would have the public believe that increases in the number of marine fish caught demonstrate that this resource is no longer endangered  This is a specious argument, as unsound as it would be to assert that the ever-increasing rate at which rain forests are being cut down demonstrates a lack of danger to that resource
The real cause of the increased fish-catch is a greater efficiency in using technologies that deplete resources
The proportion of marine fish that are caught is as high as the proportion of rain forest trees that are cut down each year.
