A new purse seiner from Galicia for Angola

December 22, 2024 International, International News

F/V Delta II is already in its home port of Namibe in Angola. It arrived there from Galicia – specifically from the small town of Catoira. This village of only 3300 inhabitants is home to Astilleros del Ulla, a small company focused on building vesels for export. The new purse seiner has a length of 23.95 metres in length and an 8-metre beam, designed to meet Angolan regulations which set limitations on the length and capacity of fishing vessels.

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.
