Looking back august 13, 2015 Fullabullard, By Jim Lovgren

December 4, 2023 Mid Atlantic, New England

Recently John Bullard was quoted as saying that fishermen are lying, and there is no proof that windmill factories are killing marine mammals. This reminded me of an article published in Fisherynation concerning Mr. Fullabullard from 2015. The article showed the cover of the New York Daily News reading, Fullabulard to fishermen, Drop Dead. Now eight years later Mr. Fullabullard is saying to the Whales, Drop Dead. Nothing has changed with Mr Fullabullard, he is, and always will be a lying politician/ bureaucrat, only too happy to say whatever the people paying him need him to say, since he has the credentials from his years spent destroying the fishing industry. Good job, John, I mean Alfred. Click to read The Harvey Haddock Report – Fullabullard to Fishermen, DROP DEAD! 18:04

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. When it comes to the oceans it seems as if it’s about all that the industry connected mega-foundations that support the anti-fishing ENGOs with hundreds of millions of dollars a year in “donations” are interested in controlling.
