Sustainable seal meat – Another tail of more self serving photo op politicians

February 12, 2014 Canada

There must be one or two fish plants around that could prepare seal sausages, seal burgers, and pre-made frozen flipper pies. There might also be a few Newfoundland distributors who could get those goods to provincial grocery stores. If companies can take the sludge from a slaughterhouse floor and produce something as tasty as Vienna sausages and ballpark franks, then surely someone can make seal meat palatable.

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.
