Retired fisherman shocked to hear online troll used his photograph

March 31, 2022 International

Cyril Lawless got quite the surprise this week when he discovered his photograph was used on a fake social media profile used to troll female politicians. The 62-year-old retired fisherman who lives in Riverton, Southland was used as the face behind the fake Hamish Eggstein account, created by Young Nat Jessee MacKenzie. MacKenzie admitted on Thursday he was the person responsible for misogynistic trolling of at least three female politicians via two fake social media accounts under the names of Eggstein and Emiliano Donnrumma. >click to read< 19:42

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.
