For shrimper severely burned in boat explosion, ‘angels’ provide a chance for life

December 23, 2014 Gulf of Mexico

Ryan Barcot has a guardian angel or two, maybe more. Badly burned in a shrimp boat explosion near Grand Isle, he clung to a life raft with his mangled hands until a nearby offshore supply boat plucked him and three other crew members from the Gulf of Mexico. “He’s had so many guardian angels looking out for him, it’s unbelievable,” said Joyce Barcot, who has not left her son’s side at Baton Rouge General Hospital since she arrived from Houston three weeks ago.

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.
