If it is not genuine then why can't you pick any holes in his critique of the paper in question?

Your main/ only source of income verses the public interest.

PS if it is garbage then prove it is garbage. So far you have said nothing about reef science, just played semantics with the definition of conflict of interest.

How does my explanation differ from the Wiki definition? PS: Are you going to take your shoes and socks off now?

It's a huge contradiction to the more recent paper which Dr Ayling put his name to. It also backs up a lot of what Walter Starck is saying about green zones and fishing pressure on the GBR.

Reply #39 - Apr 5^th, 2010 at 1:22pm I recall noticing the same thing about Ayling, but it is hard to tell with papers that have multiple authors. Anyway, which way has he gone? That is, what was his previous position, and what is it now?

Reply #42 - Apr 22^nd, 2010 at 9:11pm It also appears that the report's lead author Laurence McCook was supported financially by Pew, an environmental group well known for its anti-fishing stance. Still think there is no conflict of interest FD?
