New waterkeeper says Portsmouth NH needs new sewer plant now

August 27, 2013 ENGO, National, New England

Known locally as a founding volunteer for an oyster recycling project for improving water quality in Great Bay — and as president of the state chapter of the Coastal Conservation Association — Jeff Barnum has been named Great Bay – Piscataqua waterkeeper. Just a few days on the job working for the Conservation Law Foundation, an environmental advocacy group, and Barnum is already taking aim at Portsmouth for its “incessant pleas for delay” with regard to upgrading its circa 1964 sewage treatment plant on Peirce Island. more@seacoastonline 15:03

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.
