1 dead after incident on fishing boat off Nahant coast; 2nd crew member hospitalized

April 27, 2025 Featured, New England

One of two crew members seriously hurt when a rope snapped on a fishing boat off Nahant, Massachusetts, has died, officials confirmed Saturday. The U.S. Coast Guard said it responded to a distress call at 3:55 p.m. reporting two injured crew members of the vessel, named “25 TO LIFE,” about 25 nautical miles east of Nahant. The call reported that a snapped rope hit both of them — one had a contusion and possible broken ribs, and the other was intermittently unresponsive with a suspected broken neck. An EMS team rushed both of them to Beverly Hospital with life-threatening injuries. The Gloucester police chief confirmed Saturday that one of the crew members has died. A family friend identified him as Jaxson Marston, a 26-year-old father of one with another child on the way. Video, more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 06:44

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.
