Dr. Steven Lohrenz Letter: SMAST puts independent science first

January 24, 2013 New England

………At the same time, our faculty will continue to grow important research programs in coastal management, sea level rise, climate change, marine renewable energy, ocean sensing technology and other areas that will shape our regional economy and quality of life.

Anybody who remains skeptical of SMAST’s commitment to high-quality research should consider that we are also moving ahead with a $45 million expansion of SMAST in New Bedford. This is a tangible and transformational investment in the future of one of America’s greatest ports. Read more

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.
