Body Recovered from Fishing Vessel Sudden Impact.
On Sunday February 2, 2025, at approximately 7:00 a.m. a team of highly-skilled volunteer divers located and recovered a body from inside the cabin of the fishing vessel Sudden Impact. The recovered body has been transported to the medical examiner’s office for formal identification. The Maine Marine Patrol along with local fishermen and the Maine State Police/Marine Patrol Underwater Recovery Dive Team have been working to recover the body since it was first located on January 23rd inside the vessel. The F/V Sudden Impact, with Chester Barrett and his son Aaron, fishermen from South Addison, sank Saturday January 18th when the two were transiting from Edmunds to South Addison. “Throughout this difficult process, the Barrett family has led the mission to recover Chester and Aaron, supported by numerous local fishermen,” said Marine Patrol Captain Colin MacDonald. “The volunteer dive team showed exceptional skill in difficult conditions. more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 15:28
Pseudo-science and naked emperors?
I have long followed closely the development of issues related to fisheries, their management, scientific advice, political actions, and the behaviour of those who hold fishing rights. One could write books and produce documentaries on this topic. In fact, it might even warrant dedicated research, given the significant impact it has had on the development of Icelandic society over the past decades. This document focuses solely on the advice provided, its assumptions, and its outcomes. Magnús Jónsson – In 1957, two British fisheries scientists, Ray Beverton and Sidney Holt, proposed a hypothetical model (the BH model) that attempted to calculate the expected number of fish in a particular cohort based on the number of individuals in the previous generation. Although variations of this model (such as the Ricker model) have been used in fisheries science since then, the BH model remains today in use to describe the relationship between recruitment and the size of the spawning stock.

Terry Newman: Trudeau puts Canada last
It’s finally happened. On Saturday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he will be imposing a 10 per cent tariff on Canadian energy products and 25 per cent tariffs on everything else, starting Tuesday. We have no idea what kind of negotiations took place between the Liberals and Trump. All we know is that Canada is now facing the greatest economic threat it has faced in decades. Here’s what has to happen now: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberal party need to end their unconscionable self-serving break from Parliament immediately, so that elected MPs from across the country can discuss the best path forward for Canada now. Canadians will want to know what happened during negotiations with the Americans, so the Liberal party had better have some answers. While some cabinet ministers appear to have been having a good time taking photographs in Washington, often with Democrats, it’s unclear what kind of negotiations were held, or what the content of them were. more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 08:42
Trudeau hits back at the U.S. with big tariffs after Trump launches a trade war
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced late Saturday the federal government will hit back against the U.S. after President Donald Trump launched a trade war this weekend with punitive tariffs on all Canadian goods. Trudeau said Canada won’t stand for an attack from a country that was supposed to be an ally and friend. Ottawa will immediately levy retaliatory tariffs on a whole host of American goods as payback for Trump’s attempt to wreck the Canadian economy, Trudeau said. To start, Canada will slap 25 per cent tariffs on $30 billion worth of American goods coming into Canada as of Tuesday. The tariffs will then be applied to another $125 billion worth of American imports in three weeks’ time. Trudeau said there is more non-tariff trade action coming to try to force Trump’s hand and get him to call off the hostilities. Videos. more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 07:11
