“One of my crew looked at me and said, ‘We can’t save her.’ – Captain Donat Leblanc -F/V Lady Angele

June 14, 2013 Canada

A tiny infant and a four-year- old filled Danny LeBlanc’s mind when he knew his 14-metre boat was going down off the coast of Cheticamp Thursday. “Did I think of my sons? For every single second of it,” said LeBlanc, his voice wavering during a telephone interview Friday. LeBlanc, his father Donat, 69, and two other crew members couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw the Lady Angele taking on massive amounts of water Thursday afternoon. continued@chronikleherald

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.
