BINGO Chris!
Home run first time up!
Elections, Democracy?
Pegging advancement to performance? Result oriented management?
Security based on achievement?
Where did you come from?
These are alien notions to MAC and unless you want to get a troublemaker tag you better cool it....or...
welcome to the patriots forum where we believe in trying to make the trade clean and sustainable and not bow to a funder created outside group sent to organize us to step to the er....same drummer.
This industry needs to change...but doing it... by definition brings our efforts into the field, a place where the office corps of MAC style NGOs fear to tread. So...to avoid making the training of fisherman the centerpeice of the effort, the corporate style of market inducement thru un-attractive incentives was concocted.
The MAC was put together kinda like the New Kids on the Block...thru interviews and maintained year after year based on their own assessment of their own performances.
They have needless to say...not caught on and the greater familiarity with them has caused futher credibility decay. That is why they do not show up in a forum full of knowledgeable people who cannot be patronized like beginners.
Its 2004, reefs continue to decline and in this case...thru our very own subsidy and promotion. MAC was supposed to change the industry but ended up getting changed by it instead. They have morphed into a front group for the major players and the status quo. Something that genuine environmentalists amongst us find unacceptable.
The effect has been a covering for the cyanide industry while pandering to offbeat and inadequate notions of how to do this thing. The past few years has been hallmarked by a tragic waste of time. We played the flute while it burns...we need to stop following this piper...and reject their proprietary and covetous handling of reform issues.
