Fishermen fight for lucrative, volatile portion of New River

January 13, 2016 South Atlantic

Sneads Ferry – A small ad in The Daily News was the first official notice of proposed restrictions to a popular New River fishery the Marine Corps considers unsafe due to the possible presence of old, but volatile, munitions. Local fishermen have harvested shrimp, crabs, clams and oysters from the area safely for generations. They said the new restrictions would disrupt a seafood market already strained by limited ocean access amid shoaling at New River Inlet. Fishermen also question the possibility that they could lose access because of a mess that isn’t theirs. Read the article here 08:40

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.
