Cape Cleare Fishery to raise sail with 80-foot fiberglass-hulled schooner

September 4, 2014 Pacific

Port Townsend’s Cape Cleare salmon company is known for delivering its premium wild-caught Alaskan salmon by bicycle, and its carbon footprint continues to shrink.

The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet

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.
