Crustacean invasion: Museum to feature 3rd annual Core Sound Shrimp-Off

March 18, 2016 Mid Atlantic

Saturday, March 19, is a day dedicated to shrimp at the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center on Harkers Island. The reason behind the crustacean takeover is the third annual Core Sound Shrimp-Off, which is starts at 5:30 p.m. The celebration of Core Sound shrimp features shrimp cooked over 20 different ways, along with shrimp stories, art, shirts and a cooking competition. “The Core Sound Shrimp-Off is a great example of what Core Sound does best, mixing local seafood, old-time recipes, experienced cooks and folks who love to eat,” said Karen Amspacher, executive director of the museum. “The night is complete with the Shrimp Tales, stories of the men and women who worked to bring this important seafood to the docks.” Read the rest here 10:41

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.
