Oregon Halibut Fisherman Fined for Federal Fisheries Crimes

November 22, 2012 North Pacific

During sentencing, Holland found that Hankins had knowingly testified falsely at his trial when he denied that he falsified the landing reports, and that this testimony amounted to perjury. Holland found further that Hankins were still “in a state of denial” about having committed the crime for which the jury convicted him. http://fnonlinenews.blogspot.com/2012/11/oregon-halibut-fisherman-fined-for.html

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. When it comes to the oceans it seems as if it’s about all that the industry connected mega-foundations that support the anti-fishing ENGOs with hundreds of millions of dollars a year in “donations” are interested in controlling.
