Fishermen adjust after Charleston ice house burns down

December 28, 2019 National, Pacific

Fisherman are still trying to adjust after the Charleston ice house burned down. When the fire broke out last Friday, it initially started an ammonia plume that resulted in a recommended evacuation in the immediate area, according to the Coos Bay Fire Department.

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.
