The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet
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.

Same old song and dance by the progress left if you tell a lie long enought it will some how be come truth but the problem is there is no truth in the liberals that run the country any wonder the country is going to hell.
Yeah let’s talk about Climate Change. Co2 yeah naturally produced and man made forms.
First though how about a man made Planet Altering Event via BP’S Gulf Deepwater spill. Then Dr. Lubchenco comes to the rescue with “COREXIT” making it the ultimate Toxic Soup. helping the Stock sink to the Bottom but sure to come back up. For now out of sight out of MIND. It won’t be going anywhere soon. If they can pump Crude at that depth. They should be able to clean up that crap on the Bottom. I would consider those Free Range Toxins a top priority to the White House.
