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. When it comes to the oceans it seems as if it’s about all that the industry connected mega-foundations that support the anti-fishing ENGOs with hundreds of millions of dollars a year in “donations” are interested in controlling.

I’m wondering when these phony bastards are going to recognize climate change as the major culprit in the north east ground fishery issue instead of blaming fishermen that have more than stayed within their limits for a variety of reasons that these ENGO wags choose to ignore.
When the time comes for eco based management, we’ll see if they have the gut’s and fortitude to do the right thing, but judging from their track records, they don’t.
The issue will be forced.
The continuous ignoring of the fact that there is now a glut of ground fish off the Canadian coast is telling of the issue.
Funny how Crockett mentions the crab issue, something he learned about in comments made by others.
