Fishery Advocate Bruce Tarr considers bid for John Kerry’s Senate seat.

February 7, 2013 National, New England

This guy is all in when it comes to supporting the fishing industry. US fishermen on a national level could expect to find an unwavering supporter of their issues

We have lost some of the bipartisan aligned politicians that we have been able to count on, and State Senator Tarr would be worthy addition to the coalition.

He has an excited bipartisan constituency pushing him to do it. Read more here.

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.
