As someone who has been actively concerned about food and water for almost half a century, I appreciate that Food & Water Watch is bringing accurate and important information to people spreading the word about issues that only a few of us used to be aware of.

Say No to Pavlov’s Fish! Help Protect Buzzards Bay
Published on June 07, 2008 - Fact Sheets: On May 30, 2008, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the federal agency in charge of making sure that projects occurring in our nation’s waters are safe for humans and the environment, issued a permit for a bizarre experiment in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts. The project is to condition 5,000 hatchery-raised fish to associate a specific sound with being fed. The plan is to release “Pavlov’s fish” into the wild and then later call them back by playing the sound to be caught. Right now there is simply not enough information available about the project to determine if it should be allowed. We do know that open water fish farm projects can cause problems for essential fish habitats, our marine environment, and the economy of coastal communities.Page 1 of 11
