Greenland and the EU – Fishing, it’s not just an industry, it’s our lifeblood

June 24, 2015 International News

“Growth and welfare – scenarios for the development of Greenland” seminar in Brussels – In the following, I will therefore concentrate on the subject that I have called “Fishing in Greenland is not just an industry, but the lifeblood of our society”. Because that’s exactly what it is. Fishing is not just Greenland’s dominant industry – it is actually Greenland’s only export industry.

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.
