Greiss embraces Islanders past by putting fisherman on new mask

October 25, 2018 Mid Atlantic

Thomas Greiss’ new mask takes New York Islanders fans for a trip down memory lane. The Islanders goalie’s new helmet features the Islanders fisherman logo and teal, orange and navy color scheme they wore for two seasons between 1995-97. The fisherman specifically was a big hit with Greiss’ wife Brittney, but not because of the team’s history. She Tweeted: For me I love the fisherman!! It represents hard working, determination, & dedication to provide for his family. The fisherman has early morning, long night, and sometimes tough days at sea. Go Islanders! >click to read<09:43

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.
