FILE - This Aug. 22, 2007 file photo shows freshly caught sardines awaiting sorting at West Bay Marketing in Astoria, Ore. West Coast fisheries managers have little choice but to shut down sardine fishing this year in the face of evidence stocks are going through the same kind of collapse that turned Cannery Row from a thriving industry to a tourist destination. The commercial fishing fleet hopes that the Pacific Fishery Management Council will not be so concerned about how low sardine numbers are falling that they shut down other fisheries, as well, such as mackerel, anchovies and market squid. But that is what the conservation group Oceana is urging, to leave food in the ocean for starving sea lions and other wildlife, and speed the rebuilding process for sardines. The council meets later this month to set sardine harvests. (AP Photo/The Daily Astorian, Alex Pajunas)
