Little is clear in assault trial stemming from Ecum Secum lobster boat ramming

September 12, 2019 Canada

Jesse Aprey is having a hard time convincing anyone he beat up Blair Fleet. “What if I suggest to you that given the lack of detail you have provided about the assault that it was Austin Chambers and Tanya Chambers that told you to go to the RCMP station (and turn yourself in),”,,, Asprey isn’t charged with the May 14, 2018 assault of Blair Fleet in his Ecum Secum yard over a lobster fishing feud.

Assault trial stemming from Ecum Secum lobster dispute starts with surprise confession

July 5, 2019 Canada

Someone beat up Blair Fleet in his own Ecum Secum yard over a lobster dispute last spring. But who did it is even less clear after the first day of the trial of one of the fishermen accused of the assault. “So this is the first time you’ve heard that Jesse Asprey went to the police to admit he assaulted you?” defence attorney Colline Morrow asked the victim in Antigonish provincial court on Thursday. “No one ever told you?” “No,” replied Fleet. No one had apparently told the judge either. >click to read<09:29

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.
