Dr. Rothschild receives Lifetime Achievement Award and Discusses CSF’s Proposed Rewritten National Standards

November 20, 2013 National

Dear Friends, Today, Brian Rothschild, President and CEO of CSF received the Highliner’s Lifetime Achievement Award at the Pacific Marine Expo in Seattle, Washington.

In his keynote address, he discussed CSF’s proposed rewritten National Standards. CSF is proposing to reduce the National Standards from 10 to 5 to properly balance the National Standards and the purposes of the MSA. We hope these National Standards are a starting point for much discussion around the reauthorization of the MSA.

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. When it comes to the oceans it seems as if it’s about all that the industry connected mega-foundations that support the anti-fishing ENGOs with hundreds of millions of dollars a year in “donations” are interested in controlling.
