Lobstering lures multiple generations of women

October 14, 2014 New England

Jean-Symonds Everyone has heard of the “glass ceiling” impeding the progress of some women in corporate America. Some maintain there is a “glass gangway” for women on the water. But three generations of women lobster fishing in Corea Harbor in Gouldsboro say the challenges they face have nothing to do with men. And each said they turn out to haul every morning for the same reason many of the men do — a love of being out on the water. The money doesn’t hurt either. Read the rest here 21:50

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.
