‘Wicked Tuna’ boat rescues 2 as Miss Sambvca sinks

October 28, 2014 New England

Dennis Bonazzoli was pretty sure he was about to die. Bonazzoli was standing on the roof of the rapidly sinking Miss Sambvca in numbingly cold and churning water off the southern edge of Jeffreys Ledge on the night of Oct. 19. The water temperature was 58 degrees. The air temperature was 38 degrees and seas were running at a hard 10 to 12 feet. And if it weren’t for the courageous and selfless acts of Capt. Tyler McLaughlin on the Pinwheel, Bonazzoli and his Miss Sambvca captain, Dave Potter, both could have gone to frigid, lonely and watery deaths. Read the rest here 08:44

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.
