U.S. Coast Guard rescue 3 mariners from disabled fishing boat in Bristol Bay

September 13, 2015 North Pacific

Untitled-png The U.S. Coast Guard rescued three mariners from a disabled vessel in Bristol Bay Sunday, officials wrote in a press release. The Coast Guard Sector Anchorage command center received a distress call from a 32-foot fishing vessel, reporting engine failure and a fear that the vessel would drift onto a nearby rocky shore. A MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter and a HC-130 Hercules plane from Kodiak were dispatched 250 miles to respond and perform the rescue. The fishing boat ran aground shortly after the completion of the hoist, officials said. Watch the video here 23:14

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. It’s all about fishing, because fishing is all that the managers can control; it’s their Maslow’s Hammer.
