Thank You, Frank! Lobsterman donates buckets of lobsters to Maine veterans

November 12, 2021 National, New England

We introduced you to Frank Thompson last week. He pledged to give away around 50 buckets of lobster to local veterans who entered in a drawing. Thompson more than made good on his promise, giving away 80 buckets filled with roughly 15 lobsters each. Set up outside the Furniture Gallery in Bangor, Thompson sent dozens of veterans home with a feast to savor and share. He says it’s a simple gesture compared to what our veterans do for us. >click to read< 10:09

Maine lobsterman giving away buckets of lobsters to some lucky veterans

November 6, 2021 National, New England

A lobsterman in Harrington who gave away some of his catch to a few lucky veterans last year is at it, again. Dozens of others have chipped in buckets, too, ahead of the Veterans Day holiday. “I wanted to give back a little bit. So I posted I’d give five buckets away if anyone knew a veteran, throw their name down and I’d draw it out,” said Frank Thompson. “Before it was over fellow fisherman jumped on.

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. 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.
