New west Louisville children’s museum AHOY to include historic shrimp boat

September 30, 2024 National

Sitting nearly six miles downriver from downtown Jeffersonville, Indiana, in a spot where barges normally occupy the Ohio River, a historic shrimp boat waited to start its final voyage. Suspended by a crane high above the water in which it sat unused for decades, the 70,000-pound shrimp boat was creaking. Katy Delahanty looked on from the bank of Utica Pike in Jeffersonville and watched crane operators, workers on tugboats, and others come together to lift the 75-year-old boat out of the Ohio River so it could be moved to its new home.

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.
