In Our View/Obama’s Clean Water Act authority – Stopping the Bristol Bay mine

January 26, 2014 North Pacific

“EPA Assessment provides unequivocal evidence of the irreversible harm the mine would pose to the 14,000 direct salmon-fishing jobs in Bristol Bay,” writes U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell in a Jan. 23 letter to the president. “In addition to direct jobs impacts, thousands of indirect jobs are at risk in industries ranging from shipbuilding, to gear manufacturing, logistics and seafood processing.” Read [email protected] 09:44

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.
