F/V Miss Montie: Stranded shrimp boat is towed away near Flagler Beach

April 16, 2025 South Atlantic

A shrimp boat that had run aground just north of Flagler Beach was towed off the sand on Tuesday. Corey Thomas, the captain, of the 50-foot-long Miss Montie had said on Monday that he planned for another shrimp boat to haul the stranded boat off Beverly Beach on Tuesday night. But Thomas wrote in a text on Tuesday that the boat was taken off the beach in the morning and was “underway.” He said bad weather was on the way so he couldn’t take a chance on waiting for the other shrimp boat and went ahead with the salvage company.

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.
