London, UK - 25 March 2006, 12:21 GMT - ATCA: From Challenge to Opportunity: The role of business in tomorrow's society Dear ATCA Colleagues Whilst in Geneva to deliver a computing colloquium at CERN - European Organisation for Nuclear Research - and to lead a meeting focussed on solving complex global challenges through the philanthropic route under the auspices of The Philanthropia Trinity - hosted by UBS - I was invited to pay a visit to The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD).

What I learned at the WBCSD, seems to chime very well with the aims of The World Forum on Social Entrepreneurship at the University of Oxford, next week.

This year’s focus is on leveraging assets and growing social capital markets.

Whilst preparing my brief talk on "New Generation Philanthropists" for The World Forum, I must emphasise the influence of the report just published by WBCSD titled "From Challenge to Opportunity: The Role of business in tomorrow's society".

Under the proposal presented to the FFWCC, commercial traps could go into the water July 10, and the harvest could begin July 15.

Trappers say they need the one-time change to compensate for severe damages to traps and boats resulting from last year's hurricane season.

The issue will be heard by the commission at an April 6 meeting in Tallahassee - call (850) 488-4676 for details.

The latest redfish stock assessment will also be reviewed at the meeting.

FWRI scientists say that reds are achieving a 30 percent "escapement" rate, that is that 30 percent survive to sizes greater than the maximum 28-inch harvest size and go on to join the spawning population.

However, the researchers also said that if inshore fishing pressure continues to increase, the stocks may not maintain their current health through the next assessment, due in 2008.

Bottom line is that it's unlikely any relaxing of redfish harvest rules is on the horizon.
