Breaking! Top “Wicked Tuna” Series Boat F/V Hard Merchandise sinks at the dock.

December 16, 2012 National, New England

Captain Dave Marciano’s Hard Merchandise sank at the dock in East Gloucester. Details are unavailable at the moment. I would call him, but I’m sure he’s busy, and I’m certain his priority is his boat. There are updates on his Facebook page with much support from well wishers offering their assistance. The origional tip was from GoodMorningGloucester, the premier local blog. She is in the process of being raised.

Dave and his nephew, First Mate Jason Muenzner have become fan favorites. From the website:

Welcome to the website of the F/V Hard Merchandise and Angelica Fisheries!

We are one of Gloucester’s traditional, old school, commercial fishing vessels, working year round to feed the nation.

We are proud to be featured as part of the National Geographic Channel’s show “Wicked Tuna” . We think we are the wickedest tuna boat out there.

Out of the water #now to gut her and rebuild http://instagr.am/p/TTr7hRs_R8/

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.
