John Pappalardo has submitted paperwork to replace Nature Conservancy’s Tom Dempsey on NEFMC

December 6, 2014 New England

Pappalardo already has served on the council for three terms, serving five years as chairman, during which the New England fishery experienced big changes in management. Under a plan crafted by the council, fishermen were allotted a share of the overall quota of each groundfish stock based on their fishing histories. They then formed cooperatives that managed the combined quota. Read the rest here 08:34

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.
