The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet
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.

I’m not a fan of Dempsey’ and this interview show’s why.
I’m surprised Vito could maintain his composure for a number f reasons, but one thing is certain, Dempsey, the unregulated fishing community that you failed to mention in your lopsided opinion, the seals will have no problem out fishing you again.
Not a word bout the catch shares privatization atrocity…how odd!
Whenever I listen to EDFs voice on the NEFMC Dempsey, there is nothing but the ENGO mantra of dogma.
Giacalone was,I believe, inclined to mention the sector scamifization, but was rudely interrupted by the Hooker.
