Start of releases from Lake Okeechobee cause for concern on Treasure Coast

September 26, 2012 South Atlantic

On the Treasure Coast, scores of businesses are connected to the water. The marine industry contributes an estimated $600 million a year in Martin County alone, and a large portion of that comes from businesses that operate on — and in — the water. So when the water changes color from blue to brown, it affects the amount of green coming in. http://www.tcpalm.com/news/2012/sep/24/start-of-releases-from-lake-okeechobee-cause-for/

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.
