Obituary: Fred W. Bayley

March 7, 2021 National, New England

Fred W. Bayley, 83, passed away on Feb. 26, 2021. Born on Nov. 17, 1937, Fred was the son of Russ and Bessie Bayley. Fred started clamming at the age of 7, lobstering by the age of 10. After lobstering, Fred went to Commercial Dragging for all types of fish and fished aboard the fishing vessels Kathleen M., Kathleen and Julie 11, and Kathleen and Julie 111. These were the state of the art high-liners on the East Coast. He owned various lobster boats, tuna boats and trawlers all of his life. Fred and Kathleen built and established the Bayley’s Campground in 1970, which became one of the largest camping resorts on the East Coast. Later on, they developed the Bayley Hill Deer and Elk Farm, with one of the finest herds in the country. >click to read< 08:55

High Liner nears $100m in scallop sales with American Pride deal

October 3, 2013 Canada, National, New England

Acquiring American Pride – the result of talks first unveiled by Undercurrent News — will also give High Liner direct access to scallop sourcing. Since it sold its fishing business in 2003, High Liner has procured most of its scallop from producers, such as Clearwater. American Pride, in contrast, secures its scallop straight from New Bedford’s fishing vessels and auction. High Liner was “very happy” to acquire American Pride’s plant in New Bedford, which has an annual capacity of 50 million pounds, said Demone. “Our plan is to operate it and increase its production… We will be doing everything American Pride currently does and add millions of pounds on an annual basis.” more@undercurrent 13:48

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.
