Commentary: It’s time to stop slandering Geno and Anna Barbara Hantz Marconi

February 16, 2025 New England

I believe I am watching an epic and compound injustice unfold right before my eyes at the New Hampshire Port Authority and the New Hampshire Supreme Court. Over the past five or six years, I have had a front-row seat at the State Pier in downtown Portsmouth, at Rye Harbor, at Hampton Harbor, and on New Hampshire’s tidal waters, and in Concord, of Port Authority Director Geno Marconi’s patient and strategic development of critical infrastructure for large commercial shippers, as well as his stewardship of resources for New Hampshire’s recreational and commercial boaters and fishermen. more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 11:11

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.
