Lubchenco's NOAA declares mermaids don't exist
This is the same agency that, under the leadership of NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco, has pushed the controversial "catch shares" program to privatize the oceans. A catch share, also known as an individual fishing quota, is a transferable voucher that gives individuals or businesses the ability to access a fixed percentage of the total authorized catch of a particular species.
