The Canso Lions Club Service to honour fishermen lost at sea on Sunday at 2 p.m.

August 9, 2013 Canada

Canso will remember this province’s lost fishermen during a ceremony on Sunday at 2 p.m. The Canso Lions Club has hosted the service at its Seamen’s Memorial, in this four-century-old Guysborough County fishing community, since 1989. Wreaths will be laid in memory of fishermen lost at sea and coast guard and Canadian Forces rescue personnel who died during a training exercise near Canso in 2006. The wreaths will be carried out to sea and laid in the North Atlantic by area fishermen the following the Sunday. chronicleherald

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.
