John Greenleaf Tell’s It Like It Is! His F/V “David and Jenna” sustained little to no damage following her unmanned adventure. (video- photos)

COHASSET — John Greenleaf knew that this week’s nor’easter threatened to rip his boat  off its mooring in Gloucester and sweep it out to sea. That’s why he nervously  kept an eye on the boat Wednesday. A day later, Greenleaf was warily watching his boat again, only this time  the 40-foot-long fishing vessel was stranded on a beach in Cohasset. The stormy seas had carried the empty boat overnight from Magnolia Bay in  Gloucester to a cove in Cohasset, roughly a 20-mile journey. “I watched it until dark last night with a pair of binoculars,” Greenleaf  said. “It (the boat) must be mad at me, because it didn’t leave long after I  stopped watching.”

Live update – Groundfish Webinar – Dave Goethel Sensored? – UPDATED

WTF? Dave is tearing it up with real truth, and they pull the plug? STANDING BY. DON”T KNOW WHY!

I missed a big chunk of Dave’s presentation, but what I did hear makes me want to hear more. There were a lot of very smart people there today. The breaks in the webinar seemed to happen at the wrong times!

There was a lot of passion in that meeting today, and I can foresee some progress of including fishermen in the process of stock assessments. John Bullard continues to intrigue.

Election alters fishing’s landscape GDT.- Barney’s Gone. Scott’s Gone. Huge Ramification’s, and they ain’t good.

“Elizabeth Warren will be the champion of the fishing industry,” Ferrante predicted in an interview Wednesday. “She has experience up against Wall Street, big oil, and lost the chance to open the consumer financial protection bureau because of her feuding with Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner when Obama refused to submit her name for Senate confirmation.http://www.gloucestertimes.com/local/x1499661062/Election-alters-fishings-landscape

The Noise of EDF – What Has Been Known to Fishermen and Must Become Reality. or. Putting Lipstick on the EDF Pig?

November 8, 2012 — EDF supports greater involvement of fishermen in the stock assessment process. … Taking steps to engage non-government scientists in the stock assessment process for the New England region would pay significant dividends. Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) supports greater involvement of fishermen in the stock assessment process and encourages fishermen to work with scientists to ensure that their knowledge and experience add to our understanding of these valuable resources. EDF has developed recommendations aimed at producing the most dependable stock assessments possible. The accumulated knowledge of the fishing industry can contribute to improved stock assessments, and greater industry participation can increase confidence in fishery science. http://blogs.edf.org/edfish/2012/11/08/edf-supports-industry-participation-in-science/
