Come Rain and High Water – People will drive for hours, brave a deluge for a John’s Bay Boat Company launch

December 13, 2021 New England

Some people go to the opera. In South Bristol, Maine, people go to a John’s Bay Boat launch. John’s Bay Boat Company owner Peter Kass has been building his traditional plank-on-frame lobster boats from a waterfront property in South Bristol, Maine, for nearly 40 years.,, Inside the bay, where until recently F/V Twilight II had filled the shed to within inches of the doors, tables were covered with donuts and coffee, but also Kahlua, Prosecco, Bloody Marys, bourbon, rum, Champagne, and all kinds of other things. The fruit salad was basically untouched. photos, happy people, >click to read< 08:15

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.
