“Amazing!” said Sandy Stottlemyar. “Lots of pictures!” “I feel bad for the boat captain, but it was fun to watch,” said Suzanne Zak of Doylestown, Pa. Fortunately there were no injuries to the 3 crew members on board. Initial reports stated the captain fell asleep at the helm. But the Coast Guard says this is still under investigation. “I don’t want to speculate,” said Coast Guard Lieutenant Tim Feese. “Luckily it didn’t hit the pier at Caesar’s and cause more damage.” [email protected] 10:18

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.
