Coastal Louisiana land loss worth price to fix, study will attempt to show

July 17, 2014 Gulf of Mexico

Clint Guidry, president of the Louisiana Shrimp Association, said fishermen are told decisions will be based on science, but they remain skeptical. “I notice you guys have a very bad habit of cherry-picking science,” Guidry said.

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.
