EXCLUSIVE: Man busted for trying to sell shark fins

March 9, 2013 Western Pacific

It’s been almost two years since Hawaii’s shark fin ban went into effect. Friday afternoon, enforcement officers busted a man for trying to sell shark fins to a Chinese restaurant. The man was cited, and now faces a possible fine, and possible jail time. This is something you don’t see in Hawaii anymore. “In the duffle bag, there are 14 shark fins, and they appear to be fresh, not cured or dried,” said Guy Chang, DOCARE Oahu Branch Chief. Read more

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.
