November 29, 2024 Canada, Inland Fisheries

The fishing tug was lifted out on Nov. 26, as shown in a Coast Guard photo, and was placed on the government pier in Southampton, at the mouth of the Saugeen River. It was reported partly sunk Nov. 20 in Stokes Bay. It remained in Southampton Thursday. more, >>CLICK TO READ<<

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.
