PR, first aid training tailored for fishermen

February 3, 2024 National

It pays to play it safe. Plus, when it comes to fishing, safety may be job one before the hooks are set and the nets are cast. That sort of self-health maintenance is part of the reason tailored for fishermen is putting out the call to fishermen to sign up for a free, all-day CPR and first aid training class. The class will take place Feb. 9 from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the DES Club, 133 Prospect St., Gloucester.

The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet

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.
