Pilgrim Nuclear could stop killing wildlife by installing a closed-cycle cooling system now

July 5, 2013 New England

The Pilgrim Plant is one reason there is a drastic decline in river herring, specifically blueback herring and alewives, and they are thus species of great concern. In fact, there has been a moratorium on harvest, possession or sale of river herring in Massachusetts since January 2006. continued@capecodtoday The author, Shalen Lowell, belongs to the “Watershed Action Alliance of Southeastern Massachusetts” Watershed Action Alliance www.facebook.com/WatershedActionAlliance

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.
