Big Herring Haul for BC Children’s Hospital, as Fishermen outsmart Sea lions to get it!

December 8, 2014 Canada

After 35 years in the industry, the sea lions were a familiar annoyance to Viking Fisher’s skipper Neil Jensen. The marine mammals are smart enough to recognize the lights of fishing boats, patient enough to know when the nets were set, and are all ravenous for the herring surrounded within. But like many kinds of sea life, the lions could be swayed — by using bait to distract them. Read the rest here 11:08

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.
