King: Offended by cooking show

January 25, 2016 New England

On Jan 16, Saturday eve, we were watching a cooking show on WACA-TV (cable TV in Ashland) where the top item on the menu was a ‘traditional’ Italian lobster dish. We’d just viewed an earlier preparation of part of the meal and it was well planned and executed. There is a degree of enjoyment watching people who know what they’re doing to the extent it seems to be an art. Then they talked about the lobster. It was clear the lobster was still alive. (Oh no!)

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.
