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.

The seal industry is extremely sustainable and should be promoted as one of the best sources for things such as meat, fur, and oil which is high in omega-3, in particular in DPA, an omega-3 which is not commonly found in other fish oils. I operate the website http://www.TerraNovaSealOil.com in which I sell seal oil that is manufactured by Carino (although I am not the company itself). I promote the health benefits of seal oil on the website.
