Take a look inside Shetland fishing crew’s 30% bigger boat

July 5, 2023 International, International News

She made her maiden appearance in Shetland’s largest port last weekend. Skipper Chris Duncan described her as “top class”. And it is hard to argue, considering all the modern equipment and comfortable surroundings for the crew, as well as the distinctive red sweeping across the exterior. Measuring more than 260ft from bow to stern, the new Altaire is nearly the longest ship in the Shetland fishing fleet. But it is her width that makes the vessel such a standout. She currently has a crew of 12 but there is space for more on board. 5 photos, >click to read< 08:56

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.
