Fishermen’s fundraiser nets massive haul for kids with cancer

December 5, 2015 Canada

A fundraising event by Fishermen Helping Kids with Cancer had brought in a record haul for charity this year, selling more than 100,000 lbs of herring in just a few hours. Fisherman Stewart McDonald say he can’t believe the number of people who turned out to support the event, particularly with the brewing storm. “Phenomenal success, huge lineup at 6:00 am when it opened. And even though the weather wasn’t kind people really wanted to hang so it turned out to be fine.” Read the rest here, and like the page 21:04

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.
