Fishing remains huge part of Ron Rosse’s life

October 29, 2015 Gulf of Mexico

ron rosse stone crab A Lee County native who was introduced to fishing at a very young age, continues his passion near Captiva Island where his earliest memories were formed – building stone crab traps. “We used to build them out of wood. That was the norm for years and still is for a lot of people now,” Ron Rosse said. Over the years it was discovered that wood does not last long due to worms eating through the material. “Once they get into the trap, there is no getting them out,” he said. Read the rest here 09:01

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.
