Commercial Fisherman Hurt in Fall at Sandwich Marina

November 1, 2022 New England

A commercial fisherman was taken by medical helicopter to a hospital after falling 10 feet at the Sandwich Marina on Monday morning, October 31. Nicholas Giordano, director of marina operations, said he called 911 at 10:03 AM as soon as he saw the man struggling on the dock. “No one actually saw him fall,” said Mr. Giordano. “But someone was rushing to him as I was making the call.” The man had been working on the upper rigging of the F/V Tempest, when he apparently slipped and fell onto the dock below, potentially hitting his head on a cleat. >click to read< 07:50

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.
