“It’s a boat-to-table concept,” A net gain for Sandwich Marina District

October 5, 2015 New England

Two brothers who have been fishing out of the Sandwich Marina boat basin for three decades are looking to open a seafood restaurant and market that can benefit from their catch. Robert and Dennis Colbert, who both live in South Plymouth, have purchased the site of the former freezer plant along the Cape Cod Canal and have been meeting with town officials informally on a plan to build a 7,600-square-foot building that will feature a restaurant and sales of fresh seafood to retail and wholesale customers. The Colberts own three fishing vessels: Miss Julie, Virginia Marie and Chelsea Girl. Read the rest here 14:32

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.
