Drakes Bay Oyster Co. sues U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, claiming he violated federal environmental law

December 5, 2012 Pacific

The owner of the Drakes Bay Oyster Company, Kevin Lunny at his oyster farm in Point Reyes, Calif. on Thursday Nov. 29, 2012. U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar rejected a proposal to extend the lease of the popular Drakes Bay Oyster Farm at Point Reyes National Seashore Thursday, effectively ending more than a century of shellfish production on the 1,100 acres in Drakes Bay. The lawsuit accuses Salazar and Jonathan Jarvis, the director of the National Park Service, the director of the National Park Service, of revoking the property rights of the Drakes Bay Oyster Co. without due process provided by the National Environmental Policy Act. The suit also claims the federal leaders based their decision on false, biased and misrepresented science. Read More

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. When it comes to the oceans it seems as if it’s about all that the industry connected mega-foundations that support the anti-fishing ENGOs with hundreds of millions of dollars a year in “donations” are interested in controlling.
