Fire destroys lobster boat in Canada Creek, N.S.

December 12, 2024 Canada

A fire on a lobster fishing boat in Canada Creek, N.S., took several hours to get under control, according to the local fire department. Kevin Ernest, spokesperson for the Waterville and District Fire Department, says emergency services were called to the wharf around 9:30 a.m. Thursday. By the time the fire department arrived, the boat was fully engulfed in flames. Ernest says it was a “stubborn fire” that was difficult to get out due to the amount of fuel on board. more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 15:56

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.
