Richmond fishing company charged with unsafe transportation of ammonia

October 17, 2022 Canada, Pacific

A Richmond fishing company has been charged with transporting ammonia by people not trained to do so, not complying with safety regulations as well as possibly dumping it. Arctic Pearl Fishing, Arctic Pearl Ice and Cold Storage and Kwong Man Sang Company have all been charged in connection with incidents that allegedly occurred in the fall of 2017. The charges range from handling or transporting dangerous goods, that is, anhydrous ammonia used in the shipping industry for refrigeration, as well as not complying with safety requirements. >click to read< 18:59

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.
