WOW BABY! Now THIS is Somethin’! factory-fishing trawler “American Dynasty” T-Bones docked Canadian navy frigate HMCS Winnipeg – video

April 24, 2013 Canada, National

The STAR – VICTORIA, B.C.—A huge American factory-fishing trawler smashed into a docked navy frigate, sending a wall of waves over the bows of both vessels in a spectacular morning crash, witnesses say. (its on video) The American Seafoods Company “American Dynasty” vessel sits seemingly embedded in the docked HMCS Winnipeg, which has just undergone a massive refit and systems upgrade. The trawler came in hard, Edwards added, and the subsequent dull boom of the two enormous ships colliding rang out over the harbour. HOLY MACKEREL! continued

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.
