Fishing with Carl

It's like Fishing with John, only instead of lanky Lounge Lizard John Lurie slinging hooks with Jim Jarmusch or Tom Waits, this spot is hosted by NY Times science reporter, Andrew Revkin, who goes fishing off Long Island with marine biologist and author Carl Safina. While icing a few flukes and bluefish, the two talk about fisheries recovery and something Safina calls the "sea ethic." Perhaps because I love to fish, I find Safina's remarks hopeful and reassuring at a time when most fisheries news is extremely bleak.

You can read the article here. Just click on the fluke to see the video. Warning: those prone to sea-sickness may want to take a Dramamine first. Don't know about anyone else, but I've grown to like the Times video pieces. It adds a nice element to the written reporting.
