Panama City Fishermen going where the ice is

August 16, 2013 Gulf of Mexico

Necessities in the commercial fishing world are few. Beyond a fueled boat, a vessel’s captain only needs the gear, the men, bait and ice to preserve the day’s catch. But on Aug. 9, the ice house departed the Panama City Marina via barge and has not yet been set up at its new home at St. Andrews Marina. After 26 years of pumping out about 50 tons of ice per day at its former location, the 41-by-74-foot Ice Systems International ice house owned by Steve Darden now sits dormant on the St. Andrews Marina. The lack of ice in the abundance needed by Bay County fishermen has caused a migration of sorts. more@newsherald

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.
