The Rock is threatening cod stocks

April 11, 2015 National

There’s the Rock that has been under a cod moratorium since 1992, and then there’s The Rock who most certainly has not. Social media was buzzing this week when Muscle and Fitness magazine posted Dwyane “The Rock” Johnson’s bodybuilding meal plan. Seeing The Rock on television and in movies, I always assumed he needed a good dose of protein to maintain his size and muscle mass. However, what blew me away was just how much codfish the former WWE wrestler consumes on a daily basis. Read the rest here 12:59

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

It took me a while to decide how to most accurately describe the situation that has been visited upon the New England fishing communities that are and since colonial times have been dependent on the groundfish fisheries.

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. Hence the term “overfished.” Hence the mandated knee jerk reaction of the fisheries managers to not enough fish; cut back on fishing. What of other factors? They don’t count.
