October 23, 2013   New England, Offshore Wind/Industrialization

Interior secretary cheers for wind power PROVIDENCE, R.I. — U.S. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell’s role kicking off an offshore wind industry conference Tuesday probably came as no surprise to many inside the Rhode Island Convention Center.

  The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet

  NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

   While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing.
