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. 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. It’s all about fishing, because fishing is all that the managers can control; it’s their Maslow’s Hammer. When it comes to the oceans it seems as if it’s about all that the industry connected mega-foundations that support the anti-fishing ENGOs with hundreds of millions of dollars a year in “donations” are interested in controlling.

IF IT WASN’T COMMERCIAL FISHING WHERE WOULD NOAA BE TODAY ???
Fishing has supporting Noaa for last 50 years . But BULLARD says Noaa has no funds to pay for at sea monitoring . We know , Noaa can’t mange fish very well and now we should put managing taxpayers monies on the list !!
Take A TRIP TO , WOODS HOLE SCIENCE CENTER SUNDAY STROLL and you be amazed of all personal, buildings,and equipment that at this facility and if wasn’t for commercial fishing this facility would not exist today!!!!
SO, MR. BULLARD , STOP THINKING GREEN AND START THINKING OF NOAA ‘S PERSONAL !!!
