Heroic father relives rescue of Northumberland fishermen

November 19, 2015 International News

The rescuers' boat, Boy Liam. Picture by John Tuttiett A heroic father and son helped rescue two fishermen whose boat had sunk off the coast of Amble, pulling one from the sea and alerting crews to the other. Tom Lillico was aboard his vessel, Boy Liam, with son Jason, 38, when he noticed something in the water yesterday morning, near Coquet Island. The 59-year-old originally thought it was a seal, but soon realised it was a man clinging onto a buoy. It sparked a dramatic rescue mission. Read the article here 09:54

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.
