Commercial fishing vessel runs aground in Auckland’s Ōrākei Marina after refueling

September 22, 2024 International, International News

A commercial fishing vessel has run aground in Auckland’s Ōrākei Marina after its skipper missed tide timings while refueling. “The skipper was just looking to get some cheap fuel at Gull and then he went downstairs and had a cup of tea and missed his timing,” he said. Snashall said this vessel in particular had a “huge” boat draft – the minimum amount of water required to float the vessel without it touching the bottom. Photos, more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 06:57

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.
