December 12, 2019 Canada

Alain d’Entremont has never taken his eyes off of his to-do lists,, Scotia Harvest Inc. in Digby is gearing up for construction of a $14-million, 43,580-square-foot groundfish production facility in the Digby industrial park. “I don’t think any of my colleagues in the industry would be surprised that I’m building a plant, I’ve been talking about it for years,” says d’Entremont, president and CEO of Scotia Harvest Inc. When Scotia Harvest Inc. acquired O’Neil Fisheries in 2012 it included a processing plant. But d’Entremont knew early on his business plans would outgrow that facility. >click to read< 10:07

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.

It’s all about fishing, because fishing is all that the managers can control; it’s their Maslow’s Hammer.
