Fisherman pulls boat out of water by crane to fuel it at a BP station!

March 21, 2022 International

Chris Attenborough, a seventh-generation fisherman from Whitstable, Kent, says after reclaiming road duty and VAT it is now cheaper to buy normal diesel than using red diesel. He said: ‘It’s cheaper for me to get my boat craned out of the water, cut the mast down, put it on a lorry and bring it to the petrol station and fill it up with white diesel. ‘It is going to put the price of fish up, which people can’t afford to buy already in this country, and it is going to have a major impact on our businesses. >click to read< 09:55

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.
