Plan for artificial reef off Ocean County fuels fighting among fishermen

February 13, 2015 Mid Atlantic

New Jersey plans to limit commercial fishing to small sections on the two existing artificial reefs in state waters and construct a third one off Ocean County just north of Barnegat Inlet that will be available exclusively to recreational anglers. “It’s not defendable. There is no biological justification, and we’re hoping the state reconsiders that,” said Greg DiDomenico, who heads the Garden State Seafood Association. Read the rest here 10:38

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.
