Cape Breton lobster website directs you to lobster, fresh off the boat

May 30, 2015 Canada

A new website is highlighting where people in parts of Cape Breton can purchase fresh lobster right off the boat. Lobster fishermen from Bay St. Lawrence to Gabarus — what’s known as area 27 — have launched a website that shows users a map of all the ports where lobster is sold and what hours it is available. Most lobster from area 27 is exported, says Veronika Brzeski, the project manager for the fishermen in the area. Read the rest here, and visit http://capebretonlobster.com/ 10:11

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.
