Iconic Brunswick shrimp boat sinks during Helene

October 2, 2024 Featured, National, South Atlantic

The Dora F, the second oldest shrimp fishing vessel operating on the East Coast, broke free from its dock in Brunswick’s East River and sank as Helene unleashed her strongest winds on the Golden Isles early Friday morning. The vessel, captained by Johnny Ray Bennett, was tied to the Lady Raven and the City Market docks off of Bay Street during the storm, Bruce Collins of City Market said. The Lady Raven took on water and began to sink, putting pressure on and eventually snapping the line that lashed the Dora F to the dock, he said. more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 11:52

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.
