Sportfishing is often seen as a threat to the ocean. However, the book Saving The Ocean Through Sportfishing: The Seventh Generation argues that sportfishing can actually be a powerful tool for conservation and sustainability.

The book's authors, Dr. Robert Love and Dr. Peter Moyle, are both leading experts on sportfishing and conservation. They argue that sportfishing can help to protect the ocean in a number of ways.

Sportfishing can raise awareness of the threats facing the ocean. When people go sportfishing, they see firsthand the beauty and fragility of the ocean. This can help to inspire them to take action to protect the ocean.
Sportfishing can provide funding for conservation. A portion of the money spent on sportfishing is used to fund conservation programs. This money can be used to support research, education, and habitat restoration.
Sportfishing can help to control invasive species. Invasive species are a major threat to the ocean. They can outcompete native species for food and habitat, and they can also spread diseases. Sportfishing can help to control invasive species by removing them from the ecosystem.
Sportfishing can help to promote sustainable fishing practices. Sportfishing can be used to promote sustainable fishing practices by encouraging anglers to release fish that are too small or that are out of season. Sportfishing can also help to educate anglers about the importance of using barbless hooks and other fishing gear that minimizes harm to fish.

The book Saving The Ocean Through Sportfishing: The Seventh Generation provides a roadmap for how to use sportfishing to protect the ocean. The book includes a number of case studies of successful conservation programs that have used sportfishing as a tool. The book also provides a set of principles for sustainable sportfishing.

Saving The Ocean Through Sportfishing: The Seventh Generation is an important book for anyone who cares about the ocean. The book provides a compelling argument for the role of sportfishing in conservation and sustainability. The book is also a valuable resource for anglers who want to learn how to fish in a sustainable way.
