Fish on Fridays: A ‘Day of Reckoning’ for the New England Groundfishery by Michael Conathan and a real ass kicking rebuttal
Center for American Progress – On May 1, 2013, New England’s groundfishermen began operating under a harsh new set of catch limits that will curtail fishing effort and inflict massive economic pain on an industry that’s already struggling to remain afloat. As fishermen come to grips with their new regulations, and regulators fret about the impact that their unpopular decisions will have on one of America’s most historic industries, we should take a moment to consider the fate of a similar fishery just a few hundred miles northwest. continued Link to a real slam against this foolishness by our own Dick Grachek here
Pictures of lobster boats that are supposed to represent the ground fish fleet! lol
What stooges these well paid enviro crusaders are with their simplistic dogma and fish history revisionism.
As is verrrry predictable, the responses to this crisis are hypocritical when it comes to seeing the big picture, or recognizing their own short sightedness in policy making, and the negative effects of protecting predatory species.
I await eco based management.
There will be war.
