Cullen to ‘take a run’ at Canfisco fishing licences

December 2, 2015 Canada

From the article: Skeena-Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen was on his way to Paris this week for the COP21 Paris International Climate Conference, but before he left, he mentioned a plan of action to help the Rupert workers try and regain gainful employment canning salmon. “I want to take a run at these fish licences. I don’t believe it’s right – we’re issuing licences to catch fish with no conditions at all and those fish are now being moved off to China and everywhere else for processing,” said Cullen last week.

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.
