They ask for justice for the death of a fisherman hit by a Coast Guard boat

August 21, 2022 Caribbean

“It was gross negligence.” With that short sentence, Manuel Córdova today summed up the opinion of many in the fishing community about the circumstances surrounding the death of Charles Rosario. His death has impacted those who knew him and remember him not only as an experienced “seaman”, but even more as a great human being. “Carlos really was an excellent commercial fisherman, but more than that, he was an excellent friend,” “To me, it’s gross negligence by the United States Coast Guard,” he added. “I hope justice will be served.” >click to read< 10:14 Read Coast Guard cutter Winslow Griesser, 23-foot fishing vessel collide north of Dorado, Puerto Rico >click to read<

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.
