The world’s greatest sockeye fishery is spinning up for an exciting year

June 1, 2014 North Pacific

Early? Small? Two bucks a pound? What about that Fraser River? Reality TV? These are some of the questions on the minds of the Bristol Bay fishing industry, which is quickly pouring back into the hub towns of Dillingham and Naknek. Every day more processing plant workers arrive, boats go in the water, and one by one, kings and sockeye hit subsistence nets up and down the beaches and rivers. Read more here 08:14

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?
