New Hampshire’s Yankee Co-op to use federal funds for equipment, repairs

May 5, 2015 National

According to Seabrook Yankee Fisherman’s Cooperative manager Peter Kendall, the Granite State’s portion of that is $1,136,400, with $267,200 headed to the Co-op for much-needed equipment and repairs. “The money for this was distributed based on the level of impact the fishing regulations of the past few years had on the states’ fishing industries,” Kendall said yesterday. “New Hampshire was impacted very hard, among the worst.” Read the rest here 11:09

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.
