Another unlawful action by NOAA – Sam Frontiero, Gloucester

December 5, 2015 New England

NOAA has already crippled the fishing industry with its junk science, but I guess they have a few more nails to pound into the coffin. They have implemented an observer program in which boats have to bring out observers to track their catch and monitor their fishing because as you know, American fishermen are actually under communist rule and the laws and rights of the American don’t apply to them. So here is the scenario to understand: Read the letter here 08:04

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.
