Salvage Begins on Sunken Fishing Boat in Point Pleasant Beach

November 6, 2024 Mid Atlantic, New England

Salvage efforts were set to get underway off Point Pleasant Beach this week to remove a commercial fishing vessel that sank in November 2023. The Susan Rose, a 77-foot trawler out of Port Judith, Rhode Island, ran aground on Nov. 16 in Point Pleasant Beach not far from Manasquan Inlet. It had four crew members and had been fishing for black sea bass and flounder at the time. There were no injuries in the incident. The boat then sank three days later as a marine salvage company tried to pull it off the beach. Authorities with local, state and federal agencies overseeing the salvage operation said it was set to begin this week. more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 18:55

Work to salvage F/V Denise begins

June 6, 2015 Pacific

The commercial fishing boat “Denise” ran aground on Friday evening (May 29) and has since passed the rock barrier, due to the ocean’s tides and current, to lodge itself firmly in the sand below the bluffs adjacent to the 18th hole on Half Moon Bay Golf Links’ Ocean Course. Sidney Woods, Denise’s owner and captain, was on hand as work began. He had removed personal items and fishing hooks the day before, but lamented that he was precluded from dismantling and saving parts of the boat that could be salvaged. “But it’s a 1946 boat, and I’d like to at least have the wheel.” Read the rest here 10:53

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. When it comes to the oceans it seems as if it’s about all that the industry connected mega-foundations that support the anti-fishing ENGOs with hundreds of millions of dollars a year in “donations” are interested in controlling.
