Vehicle stolen in Capitola with Aromas Fisherman’s prosthetic arms inside

October 24, 2014 Pacific

CAPITOLA, Calif. —A fisherman who lost his right arm in a commercial salmon fishing accident at sea last year has lost another arm this month “It’s not easy losing your right arm twice.

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.
