Thief busted for stealing crabs from traps near Delacroix

May 14, 2016 Gulf of Mexico

There are at least a couple of ways to catch crabs in the rich waters along Louisiana’s coast. One is to bait traps, set them out, kill some time tending to other tasks and then return hours later to harvest the contents of your traps. The other way is to run traps that were set out by someone else. The only problem is one method is legal, and the other isn’t. Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries agents say a Slidell man went with the latter option Wednesday. Broward Barwick, 26, was cited for removing the contents of crab traps that were not owned by him, failing to mark crab traps and theft of crab traps. Read the rest here 08:45

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.
