This fisherman promises to rebuild after storm destroys home

November 5, 2012 Mid Atlantic

In the truest sense of the word, I will be starting over. There are many saving graces in this disaster, beginning with the outpouring of love from friends, family, and people in the fishing industry who have all offered prayers and help. That’s a true testament to our industry of fishermen as a close-knit, caring family, and I am thankful.

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.
