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.

Many thanks for remembering this very day… Some of us will Never Forget….
I was pouring a concrete floor that morning in Dracut Mass, and it was around coffee break, was sitting in the truck, listening to the radio. Kid says hey bossman, plane hit one of the towers in NYC! No shit? thought it was a little piss cutter. Was also watching from my vantage point at the time, parked on a hill above the next property, and watched the press swarm onto that property. One of the pilots from one of the planes lived there. I can see it still. I wasn’t ready for what I saw on tv around eight that night, though. It was staggering.
Thank you, Ec. Thank you
I had the Excalibur hauled out in Moorehead city NC and I was up on the boat and the yard owner came to me and said one of the towers had been hit. My first thought was the same thing, probably a piper cub or something. I turned on the television and saw what was actually happening and as you can imagine I was shocked to the core.
I was down there all alone, separated from my family and all I wanted was to get home. I had rented an apartment and that night I was literally in tears watching the carnage played over and over. It was like the day President Kennedy was shot. I’ll never forget where I was or what I was doing.
Never forget. God Bless America
