February 1, 2022 New England

Three fishermen are recovering from “severe hypothermia” after their vessel sank. Scituate Town Administrator James Boudreau said the town’s emergency dispatch center received a 911 call shortly after 2:35 p.m. Tuesday from a Marshfield woman who reported that she saw a boat sinking as she walked along Humarock Beach. “We had three victims clinging for life,” Murphy said. “They were in the water close to 45 minutes to an hour already.” The fishing vessel they were on was a scalloping boat out of Gloucester named the F/V Bing Bing.

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.
