Seafood fraud cases plummet as NOAA cuts investigators

December 6, 2014 National

In a sprawling warehouse five miles inland from the port of Newark, N.J., Scott Doyle was dwarfed by the metal shipping container that had just arrived from Indonesia and was headed to Maryland.

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.
