‘A blessing.’ Grand Isle locals left homeless by Ida get new houses built by nonprofit

July 28, 2024 Gulf of Mexico, National

Christian and Terrill Pizani braved Hurricane Ida three years ago from his 67-foot shrimp boat in Port Fourchon, where the storm unleashed 130 mph winds as it made landfall. By the time it passed, their home back in Grand Isle — Louisiana’s last inhabited barrier island 17 miles east — was left decimated. The couple spent seven months living on the shrimp boat before eventually using money from an insurance payout to buy an RV they parked among the wreckage of their former home. “We didn’t want to be caught with no place to live,” Christian recalled. But after nearly three years without a house, the couple on Tuesday received the keys to a brand-new, storm-resilient home built by a local nonprofit. Photos, more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 09:55

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.
