BP Oil spill claims process still stalled

November 18, 2013 Gulf of Mexico

Due to procedural complications of the BP civil claims process, money that was dedicated to certain kinds of claims is sitting idle. The Seafood Compensation Program was created to dedicate money to the claims of those who commercially harvest seafood on the coast, specifically for the owners of fishing vessels, fishermen and members of a boat’s crew. more@dailycomet

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.
