Stealing from Fishermen – Two NRP busts lead to fishery charges

November 13, 2015 Mid Atlantic

According to NRP, an Elkridge man was criminally charged on Monday, Nov. 2, with eight counts of poaching after he was caught stealing crabs from watermen’s fishing gear and other natural resources violations. Raymond David Bosley, 45, of Elkridge, was stopped by officers on routine patrol on the Chesapeake Bay on Oct. 12. A check of his recreational vessel turned up numerous crabs, but no crabbing gear.

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.
