Jim Kendall – Finding Common Ground
With regard to the letter from Sam Novello posted on Fisherynation.com, Finding Common Ground off to a Bad Start, he very eloquently laid out some of the faults, errors, and out and out incompetence of the Northeast Fisheries Science Center with respect to their continued mismanagement of the Northeast fisheries stock assessments. I know from past work and associations with the NEFSC that this has been going on for so long that they likely now believe their own Mantra about their science being the best (and only way) in which to compile the NE groundfish stock assessment. Unfortunately groundfish is not their only problematic stock assessment. >click to read< 16:32
Jim –
As usual, you’re right on target.
Thanks again. Some of us have to keep them on track!

Jim excellent article, well thought out and informative, while also offering a serious alternative to the present way of performing the trawl survey. Great job, hope you’re doing well, I miss seeing and talking with you, Jim
