NOAA Fisheries has published the First Edition Update 1 to the U.S. National Bycatch Report. This update provides a national compilation of bycatch estimates for living marine resources (fish, marine mammals, sea turtles, seabirds, and invertebrates) of the United States at the fishery and species levels. While this update is based largely on 2010 data, the next update, planned for 2015, will include estimates based on data from 2011 to 2013.

Many communities confront the same economic instability their residents face. Cities and towns have declining tax bases because of high unemployment and foreclosure rates, while education and infrastructure costs soar.

It is not an abstract idea. We experience structural inequality — see it in the quality of local schools and their test scores, smell it in the access to healthy food or not, feel it in a sense of safety or danger as we walk the streets.
