Commercial Fishing Photo Of The Day | Jay Fisher, We Miss You by JuneauTek

October 12, 2013   North Pacific

This past winter, Jay Fisher passed away.  Over the summer, the F/V Kona Rose traveled north with his ashes and we had a ceremony for Jay at Baranof Warm Springs.  Captains and crew gathered to celebrate Jay’s commercial fishing legacy and release his ashes into the pristine waters of southeast Alaska.  Jay Fisher will always be with us now when we sail the waters of southeast Alaska.  Ill be editing a video of the memorial service this winter and I will release it on the anniversary of his death, in January.  Stay tuned for the video later this winter.  We miss ya, Jay…

  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.
