Feature obituary: John ‘Jeb’ Stuart, 62, man of the sea who achieved sobriety

April 11, 2013 New England

The obituary, published in Thursday’s newspaper, starts with an eye-catching declaration of what he saw as his greatest success in life, though it inevitably led to his untimely death.

“In my life I have had many accomplishments,” he wrote. “Personally, I believe my greatest accomplishment is that I will pass soberly. I have suffered a brief illness from alcohol abuse which I overcame and feel it to be one of my richest rewards.” continued

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.
