Cortez Fishing Festival returns after pandemic cancellation last year

February 20, 2022 Gulf of Mexico

The Cortez Commercial Fishing Festival is back. The event was canceled last year due to the pandemic. This is a very important event for the commercial fishing industry. The festival runs Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. It promotes the working fishing village that produces a lot of seafood people eat all over Florida. Organizers call this authentic Florida event a “party with a purpose.” photos, >click to read< 12:32

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.
