N.S. Lobster Crawl kicks off with Lucy the Lobster’s Groundhog Day prediction

January 30, 2023 Canada

Lucy the Lobster won’t be the only Lob-Star at her annual Groundhog Day prediction in North East Point by the Cape Sable Island Causeway in the Municipality of Barrington this year. Bridgewater resident Heather Jeffers has been chosen as this year’s Lob-Star for the festival, getting VIP status for many of the signature events the lobster crawl is becoming known for. “My friends and I joked that I’ve been in training for this dream job all my life!” This is the fifth annual Nova Scotia Lobster Crawl, which was started by the SSTC in 2018 as a way to boost winter tourism and to celebrate the region’s economic backbone and heritage, along with the six-month Lobster Fishing Area (LFA) 33 and 34 commercial lobster fishery.

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.
