Doctor becomes friend after he saves local fisherman’s arm

September 30, 2018 New England

A Narragansett fisherman, Capt. David Tyrrell, nearly died after a serious onboard accident three years ago. Thanks to a miraculous medical procedure from Lifespan orthopedics surgeon Dr. Christopher Got, as well as a fighting sprit, Capt. Tyrrell is back on the water. His career on the seas, not to mention his life, nearly came to an end on a cold March day. While on his charter boat, the Mako II, Tyrrell was doing some routine, below-deck maintenance. But as he kneeled down, the string from his hooded sweatshirt got caught by a hose clamp. “Just pulled me right in within a split second,” he recalled. Video, >click to read<16:51

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. 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.
