Lost seafarers honoured – The Water Street memorial will be dedicated on Sunday in Yarmouth NS

June 7, 2013 Canada

YARMOUTH — More than 2,500 names etched in seven black granite tablets remember Yarmouth County’s men, women and children lost to the sea. The earliest inscribed dates come from the late 1750s, several years prior to the founding of Yarmouth Township in 1761. The memorial is for seafarers and those who have lost their lives to the sea, said Deputy Mayor Jim MacLeod, also chairman of the Yarmouth Waterfront Development Corp. continued at the Chronical Herald

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. 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.
