CF/V Ryan’s Commander case dismissed in federal court -Family sued makers of boat involved in tragic sinking off Cape Bonavista

August 3, 2013 Canada

Vessel design and poor handling caused the capsizing of the Ryan’s Commander that claimed the lives of two Newfoundland fishermen, a federal report concludes. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada also found that communications between two federal departments remains so strained that crew safety is at risk. Brothers Joe and Dave Ryan died when their vessel overturned off Cape Bonavista on Sept. 19, 2004, only months after it was completed. Four men escaped the disaster. @thetelegram Interesting info @neelychaulk.com

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.
