Senator Murkowski demands answers as Interior Dept’s National Park Service is busted for ENGO Intoxication

July 12, 2013 ENGO, National

This is nut’s! The oh so trendy and hip National Park Service is caught policy making under the influence of the controversial Marine Stewardship Council, the Gen Ex red-headed step child of Boomer World Wildlife Foundation and Monterey Bay Aquarium. It appears the Interior Park Service had a serious lapse in judgement because instead of being responsible, using NMFS FishWatch, the prepaid sustainability vehicle, they succumbed to peer pressure of the foundation funded ENGO strong arming bad seed!

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.
