‘You will die’: Adam Moser’s parents speak out on drug death

September 24, 2015 National, New England

It has only been four days since Jeanne and Jim Moser lost their son Adam to an apparent drug overdose, but on Wednesday, the family began to speak out, pleading with parents and friends not to turn a blind eye to the opiate epidemic in the Seacoast. Adam died at age 27 on Saturday, Sept. 19 from an apparent overdose in Portsmouth of what his father Jim said was likely pure fentanyl, a drug commonly laced in heroin.

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.
