High-tech data will help guide fishing nets in South Jersey

August 17, 2013 Mid Atlantic

LOWER TOWNSHIP – The next time Lund’s Fisheries wants to land a particular species of fish while avoiding other species they aren’t supposed to catch, a new high-tech system aboard the boats could point them in the right direction. That’s the promise of a system currently being installed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on all 12 vessels owned by Lund’s Fisheries, as well as independent fishing boats docked locally. more@pressofac

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.
