In an industry that has experienced many momentous years and critical turning points, 2020 stands to be one of the most pivotal in our history.

We will enter an 11month transition phase, during which negotiations will take place on the future economic and political relationship between the UK and the EU. >click to read< 21:56

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.
