Sinking Commercial Fishing Boat Beached Safely on Napeague

December 1, 2015 Mid Atlantic

Training and proper equipment saved three lives Saturday evening, and prevented 150 gallons of fuel from spilling into the Atlantic, according to the Coast Guard, and Roy Fridenberger, the captain of the family-owned boat that was beached after it began to sink Saturday evening. The captain, along with two brothers, Bret and Troy Fridenberger Jr., were making the last voyage of the season before dry-docking the boat at Inlet Seafood in Montauk for the winter. They left Montauk Harbor late Saturday afternoon, headed for Freeport on a three-day trip. Read the article here 10:46

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.
