A fond farewell to Michele Longo Eder

April 21, 2023 Pacific

If you read Michele Longo Eder’s obit in the March 31 News-Times, you are aware of her many impressive accomplishments. You already know of a life well lived with few wasted opportunities. You also know what is most uplifting about her life was all her efforts were in service of helping others. What I want you to know is what an extraordinary experience it was to have Michele as a close friend. How did I meet this person, you ask, living in Michigan as we did? Well, one of the early summers we came to do maintenance on our future retirement house, I noticed an attractive, dark-haired young woman cupping her hands around her face peering through our dirty windows. I went outside to ask, “Can I help you?” Her reply: “Busted!” I didn’t know she was an attorney. >click to read< by Joann Ronzio.

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.
