  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.

It’s all about fishing, because fishing is all that the managers can control; it’s their Maslow’s Hammer.
