The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet
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.

There’s a collection of C’s… The most important one is missing and that is “COMMON SENSE”!!! Every facet could be addressed, you see the list!!! A good portion of a Fish farms work is done by hand egg and milt removal. Natural organic Salmon commercially harvested then immediately processed for prime spawning… Grow out your frys’ then let them grow in their natural streams till they’re ready to hit the Seas… There has to be a simple release system… Keep the Hydro’s working, we don’t need the mega Pinwheels and miles of EMF emitting Power-Lines!!! Drought areas sounds like a job for “THE BORINGCOMPANY”
Regards—SBH– Keep it in America So Elon if your not too bored!!!
